	Fact table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fact tables provide the (usually) additive values which act as independent variables by which dimensional attributes are analyzed.
		Fact table are often defined by their grain.
		The grain of a fact table represents the most atomic level by which the facts may be defined.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Fact
		Generally a fact is an event that has happened, or a statement that is true in some objective sense — whether one accepts it as real (or true) or not.
		In philosophy, a fact is either a true proposition or something (a state of affairs, for example) that "makes" a proposition true.
		In law, a fact is a statement which is found to be true by a "tryer of fact," sometimes a jury, but often the court (the judge or judges) after hearing evidence.

	Fact Table Considerations When Merging Partitions (Analysis Services (SQL Server))
		If the source partition uses a different fact table from the target partition, the fact table of the source partition must be manually merged with the fact table of the target partition to ensure that a complete set of data is available when the resulting partition is processed.
		Facts associated with the source partition are not available for drilldown in the resulting partition, and when the partition is processed, aggregations do not summarize data from the unavailable table.
		The absence of unavailable facts might not be noticed unless a user attempts to drill down to a fact in the unavailable table or executes a query that requires a fact from the unavailable table.

	Dimension table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In data warehousing, a dimension table is one of the set of companion tables to a fact table.
		The fact table contains business facts or measures and foreign keys which refer to candidate keys (normally primary keys) in the dimension tables.
		The dimension tables contain attributes or (fields) used to constrain and group data when performing data warehousing queries.

	Fact Table Types
		Semi-Additive: Semi-additive facts are facts that can be summed up for some of the dimensions in the fact table, but not the others.
		The purpose of this table is to record the current balance for each account at the end of each day, as well as the profit margin for each account for each day.
		The facts for this type of fact tables are mostly additive facts.

	Enforcing Granularity of a Fact Table in Star Schema
		The relational constraint defined in the database between the fact and dimension tables would not be able to filter out dimensional rows based on the hierarchy of the rows in the dimension tables and enforce the granularity of the fact table.
		This fact table is good for the analysis by the store manager who would like to see the product sales over time for the store.
		In this design, the granularity of the fact table is enforced by the relational constraint defined in the database.

		True, he would be going against relational database design but if he is creating a fact table for a datawarehouse then he should be optimising for a dimensional db model rather than a relational db model.

	FIX: Replace of Fact Table Does Not Display Correct Fact Table Name in Cube Editor
		An attempt to change the same fact table name by right-clicking the fact table header in the Cube Editor, and selecting the Replace option, results in an invalid name if the source table is in Microsoft SQL Server and the table name does not have a dbo prefix.
		For example, if you try to replace the existing sales_fact_1997 table with the same sales_fact_1997 table, the table name in the table header is sales_fact_1998.
		However, the fact table property still shows the right name and the invalid name only seems to display in the table header in the Cube Editor.

	Re: SSIS: Inserting unknown members from fact table - MSDN Forums
		Looking up surrogate keys in a dimension table and adding these to your data flow is easy when there is a match in your dimension table for every key in your fact table.
		The "unknown" business keys in the fact table often has a meaning for the business user, which is why it HAS to be exposed as a separate entity.
		This is due to the fact that subsequent dimension refreshes will get those new members and the same fact lookup will extract an existing dimension member at that time.
