Hello,
I have been trying to fix a model that had several synthetic keys and even a circular reference. After joining some tables, creating new keys and using mapping load when possible, I ended up with a model looking like this:
So I have two keys (Supplier_Group_Key and PO_Item_Key) that link three tables each. Even though the model works and the numbers are correct, as I am not really a data model expert, my question is, is this a good practice or there is a better way to do it?
This is just for learning purposes. Thanks!
No this seems to me to follow a very good practice.
Main would be called a FACT table.
The other tables are dimension tables.

I agree with Petter, your approach is very acceptable and one I use a lot.
Thank you, Petter and Paul, for your input. Nice to know that I am on the right track.
Cheers!
