From the Above, Separate dimension tables created like below:

TableA, TableB, TableC are the separate Dimension tables, connected by Key(A).

Like in the below image, Sales, Docs, VisitActivity are three Dim tables connected by DocID dimension.

Just with the given information the single table would be the best. Why should it be a star-scheme?

Hi,

Why does it need to be a star schema?

You can concatenate into one table. If you really need a star schema, create the keys you want to use and the rename the rest of the fields to be different from the other tables

If you have 3 tables with same columns then why do you want star schema


my advise is to use single column..

the use requirement is  he want to see as  star schema not in single table.

like  in Qvd generator only   we need to create  seperate  fact and dimension tables.

TableA:

Load A as key,B,C,D,E from TableA;


TableB:

Load A as key

B AS B.B

C AS B.C

D AS B.D

E AS B.E FROM TableB;


TableC:

LOAD

A AS KEY

B AS C.B

C AS C.C

D AS C.D

E AS C.E FROM TableC;

My approach is

create star schema

if u don't want single table in this case rename field name treat as separate table.
