    This document contains questions and answers about data warehouse schemas and OLAP operations: 1) It describes three common data warehouse schemas - star schema, snowflake schema, and fact constellation schema. 2) Examples of each schema type are provided using dimensions of time, doctor, patient and measures of count and charge. 3) Specific OLAP operations like roll-up, slice and dice are identified to retrieve total fees collected by each doctor in 2010 from a star schema.

    Q3
    • Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the three
    dimensions time, doctor, and patient, and the two
    measures count and charge, where charge is the fee
    that a doctor charges a patient for a visit.
    (a) Enumerate three classes of schemas that are popularly
    used for modeling data warehouses.
    1. Star schema
    2. Snowflake schema
    3. Fact constellation schema
    .Q3 cont
    (b) Draw a schema diagram for the above data warehouse
    using one of the schema classes listed in (a).

    (c) Starting with the base cuboid [day, doctor, patient], what
    specific OLAP operations should be performed in order
    to list the total fee collected by each doctor in 2010?
    The operations to be performed are:
    o Roll-up on time from day to year.
    o Slice for time = 2010.
    o Roll-up on patient from individual patient to all.
    Q4
    • Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University
    consists of the following four dimensions: student,
    course, semester, and instructor, and two measures
    count and avg. grade. When at the lowest conceptual
    level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and
    instructor combination), the avg grade measure stores
    the actual course grade of the student. At higher
    conceptual levels, avg grade stores the average grade
    for the given combination.

    instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up
    from semester to year) should one perform in order to list
    the average grade of CS courses for each Big
    University student.
    • Roll-up on course from course id to department.
    • Roll-up on semester from semester id to all.
    • Slice for course=“CS” .
    Q5
    Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four
    dimensions, date, spectator, location, and game, and
    the two measures, count and charge, where charge
    is the fare that a spectator pays when watching a
    game on a given date. Spectators may be students,
    adults, or seniors, with each category having its own
    charge rate.
    Draw a star schema diagram for the data warehouse.

    spectators at GM Place in 2010?
    The specific OLAP operations to be performed are:
    • Roll-up on date from date id to year.
    • Roll-up on game from game id to all.
    • Roll-up on location from location id to location name.
    • Roll-up on spectator from spectator id to status.
    • Dice with status=“students”, location name=“GM Place”,
    and year = 2010.
