⟩ What is the difference between Snowflake and Star Schema? What are situations where Snowflake Schema is better than Star Schema when the opposite is true?
Star schema contains the dimension tables mapped around one or more fact tables.It is a renormalized model and no need to use complicated joins. Also Queries results fast.Snowflake schema is the normalized form of Star schema. It contains in-depth joins, because the tables are spited in to many pieces. We can easily do modification directly in the tables.We have to use complicated joins, since we have more tables. There will be some delay in processing the Query.
