Hi..

If the same product table would be linked to the fact table, but now using a generic key, the solution would instead look like below :

Above the tables %ProductID is the duplicate field of ProductID,where u can map it for one to one.

Let u have three table Like   A,B,C

One field name is "ProductID"

If this field name is exist in all three table ,then table will link like one to many..

Best practice suggest try to link table as one to one mapping.
