Hi,I have 2 tables in my warehouse database one fact table and one dimension table. 1. TransFact2. TimeDimensionTransFact (Columns)-----------------------Id (PK)TransDate (FK --> TimeDimension.date)StoreIdStoreNameItemIdItemDwescriptionQtyCostPriceI have created a cube with these 2 tables.Here I have to create 2 more dimensions ItemDim and StoreDim. I am verymuch new to the OLAP. Do I need to create 2 more new tables in warehouse OR can we create dimensions in the cube directly from the fact table.What is the difference between 'Creating dimension tables in warehosue and then adding in the DSV' and 'Adding diensions from the fact table'?Please give your suggestions.Thanks in advance.Suresh.
