Kimball Approach

The Kimball approach is a method for designing data systems in a way that makes analyzing information efficient and straightforward. It focuses on organizing data into a central "fact" table—containing measurable data like sales or transactions—and surrounding "dimension" tables with descriptive details such as time, location, or product. This structure, called a star schema, allows users to quickly retrieve and analyze data for reporting and decision-making. Overall, Kimball’s approach emphasizes simplicity, performance, and clarity in how data is stored and accessed for business intelligence purposes.
