Question 773
Which of the following related to snowflake schema is true?
A
Each dimension is represented by a single dimensional table
B
Maintenance efforts are less
C
Dimension tables are normalised
D
It is not an extension of star schema
Question 773 Explanation: 
→ A snowflake schema is a logical arrangement of tables in a multidimensional database such that the entity relationship diagram resembles a snowflake shape.

→ The snowflake schema is represented by centralized fact tables which are connected to multiple dimensions.
→ “Snowflaking” is a method of normalizing the dimension tables in a star schema.
→ When it is completely normalized along all the dimension tables, the resultant structure resembles a snowflake with the fact table in the middle.
→ The principle behind snowflaking is normalization of the dimension tables by removing low cardinality attributes and forming separate tables.
