Star Schema
Snowflake Schema
⮚ Unlike Star schema, the dimensions table in a snowflake schema are
normalized. The normalization splits up the data into additional tables.

Fact Constellation Schema
⮚ A fact constellation has multiple fact tables. It is also known as galaxy
schema.
⮚ The following diagram shows two fact tables, namely sales and shipping.
⮚ The sales fact table is same as that in the star schema.
⮚ The shipping fact table has the five dimensions, namely item_key, time_key,
shipper_key, from_location, to_location.
⮚ The shipping fact table also contains two measures, namely dollars sold and
units sold.
⮚ It is also possible to share dimension tables between fact tables. For
example, time, item, and location dimension tables are shared between the
sales and shipping fact table.
