Hello everybody,
I'm reading Kimball's book (The data warehouse toolkit) and in one of the first practical examples the creation of "talking" flags instead of binary (Y / N or 0/1).
In the best practices in QS instead it is expressly indicated not to use textual flags.
Here is a part of the text:
"Rather than decoding fl ags into understandable labels in the BI application, we prefer
that decoded values be stored in the database so they're consistently available to all
users regardless of their BI reporting environment or tools. "
How do you position yourself on this diatribe?
