How long does it take to access all the fact records?

E.g., the small fact table is 1 Terabyte in size!

– 0.01s*1012=325 years LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The logical unit of data transferred between disk and memory is block (e.g., 4k bytes)

Fundamentals

How long does it take to access all the fact records?

E.g., the small fact table is 1 Terabyte in size!

– Number of blocks: 2.5 millions– Access time = 0.01s*2500000= < 7

hrs!!!

Aggregate

• In data warehouse design, we choose the gain of fact table to be the possible lowest level.

Grain: orderline

10

Aggregate

• The reasons to choose the lowest level of fact: – (X) Analysts want to query on single

record

– (O) Analysts want to flexibly cut and group records.

11

Aggregate

• However, keeping the most detailed fact records could result in

– huge-size fact table: TeraBytes?! (1 million records/day, 256 Bytes/record

-> 0.2 GB/day)

– slow query

12

Aggregate

• To keep s data warehouse flexible, fact tables need to store facts in their lowest levels of detail.

• To improve query performance, another type of fact table which stores pre-computed summaries of detailed facts helps.

• Reduced to a logical design solution

13

Aggregate

• An aggregate fact table is a fact table that summarizes base-level fact table records

along one or several dimensions.• An aggregate dimension table is a

dimension table that summarizes base-level dimension table records.

• E.g., marketing managers check daily product sales by city --- aggregate by city in customer dimension

Indexes

• Customer table– 1M records, each record 0.200 Kbytes

long– Block is 4K size, block access time is 0.01s– Number of records/block: 4/0.2=20 – Number of blocks: 1M/20=50K

• Sequential search– Time: 25K*0.01s=250s=4min.

18

Indexes

• Binary search– Time: log(50K)*0.01s=16*0.01s=0.16s

• B+ tree index– Create index pn on customer(cname);– If each node (block) in B+ tree has 117 keys, then

• # of access to indexes: log117(1M)=3 (i.e.height of the tree)

• # of access to Customer Dimension: 1• Total time = 4*0.01 = 0.04s

Performance Improvement

• Suppose there are only 4 product categories for 1M products

• Create a B+ tree index???– Suppose the size of product category

and block ID is 10 bytes– Size of index = 1M * 10 = 10 M bytes

• A bitmap index for an attribute A is a collection of bit vectors, one for each possible value of A. The vector for value v has 1 in position i if the ith record has v for attribute A.

A bitmap index for an attribute A is a collection of bit vectors, one for each possible value of A. The vector for value v has 1 in position i if the ith record has v for attribute A.

24


• Bitmap index is suitable for low cardinality attribute.– Cardinality(A) = # of possible values for A/#of records

• Compared with B+ tree index, bitmap index has the following advantages for low cardinality attributes– Storage space saving (1M*4/8=500K bytes)– Efficient for boolean operations

• CREATE BITMAP INDEX bitpc ON PRODUCT (PCNAME);
