newbie design question

I am designing a dimBroker table about all the Borker information. However,
there is a table called BrokerContact in the OLTP systems. Obviously, one
broker can have multiple contacts. What is the best way to design the
relationship in the Dimension Model? Should I make it a snowflake schema for
it?

Thanks

Ed

Hi Ed,
I think that this is a typical scenario for snowflake schema. Of course you
can apply snowflake schema to design BrokerContact as a separate dimension
and reference DimBroker to it. It is simple and clear.
You may refer to the following article:

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
know. Have a nice day!
