Dimensional Model Components: Dimensions Part II
In this, the second half of our two-part examination of dimensions (which itself represents the first of several articles focusing upon dimensional model component structures), we will gain further introduction, with hands-on exposure, to dimensions within a sample cube. Our examination will include:
- A brief review of Dimensions from a conceptual perspective, including the two primary dimension types Analysis Services that we discovered in Part I; within
- Coverage of the general concepts surrounding Cube Dimensions;
- An examination of the properties (including what they define and support, and how we can manage them) underpinning Cube Dimensions.
- A look ahead to other articles of this subseries, where we explore the attribute, hierarchy, and other components of the dimensional model as implemented by Analysis Services.
