Default one or two fact tables - 10-06-2006 , 08:31 PM






Hi, I have this Order table that I need to calcualte both the product
and $ amount of sold
Should I create two fact tables or one?
one fact for product and the other is for sale amount?
I am new to this and it is kind of confusing.

thanks

Two. One fact table for the amount. Product is a
dimension.
