Product Dimension Table

After de-normalization, your Product table will look like this:

Product Dimension Table Schema
 
Field Name Type
Dim_Id INTEGER (4)
SKU VARCHAR (10)
Name VARCHAR (30)
Category VARCHAR (30)


In this table PR_Dim_Id is our dimension Id. This is the unique key into our Product dimension table.
 
The actual data in your Product Table may look like this:

Product Dimension Table Data
 
Dim_Id SKU Name Category
1001 DOVE6K Dove Soap 6Pk Sanitary
1002 MLK66F# Skim Milk 1 Gal Dairy
