BIA Assignment!!

This blog is about BIA Assignments, not that the Assignments are not good but just that I am struggling to understand the case study.

Read the Ralph Kimball chapter on Airline case study and did get some hints about various ways to handle the role-playing through super-dimensions,junk dimensions etc. However, the book did not help much with ways to implement it in SQl Server Business Intelligence Development Studio.

After various attempts to do the assignment and reach past the data source view stage, finally went to POD for help. He  made(as always) it so easy by giving hints and encouraging to do simple things first and assured that there will be a penalty-free window after due date for assignment submission.

Soon after getting confirmation from POD on my understanding of superdimension through 'namedquery' as we did in tutorial's Aroma case study, I was charged up and created my 'citypair' and 'classofservice' superdimensions.

So yeah the assignment is moving ahead. Just hoping I will submit one good BI Application for SkyWay people and get good marks as well :)
