Start Schema or Single Table Schema. Which one is better?

[vikraant]

Which one should be preferred while developing apps?

Hiii Vikraant,

Best practice is to have Star Schema in any data modelling.

Anyhow, if you can make all the tables in one fact table the performance will be much faster for the developing application.

Hi Vikraant,

Based on requirement, mostly we can use star schema.

If we can able to merge the Dimension tables into one fact table its best for performance, but so many projects not possible these one tats the reason we are using star and snowflake.
