Different Types Of Tables

Fact Tables
“A fact table is the primary table in a dimensional model where the
numerical performance measurements of the business are stored.” -
Ralph Kimball

Dimension Tables:
“Dimension attributes serve as the primary source of query
constraints, groupings, and report labels. In a query or report request,
attributes are identified as the by words. For example, when a user
states that he or she wants to see dollar sales by week by brand, week
and brand must be available as dimension attributes.” -Ralph Kimball
Bridge Tables (or Link Tables)

“These are used in “many-to-many relationships” between
dimensions. For instance, if you have a scenario where multiple
products can be in different promotions at the same time, a bridge
table would be used to manage this relationship. “ -Ralph Kimball

Role-Playing Dimension Tables

“Role-playing in a data warehouse occurs when a single dimension
simultaneously appears several times in the same fact table.” -Ralph
Kimball
