Insurance Domain:: Example of Factless Fact Table

The document describes insurance domain dimension and fact tables. The dimension table includes products, coverage types, regions, gender, and health and marketing questions. The fact table includes claims, refunds, free look ups, cancellations, add-riders, underwriting, sales, commissions and profits by product, credit union and other dimensions. It also provides an example of a factless fact table called a coverage table, which is used when the primary fact table is sparse to answer questions about things that did not happen, like products on promotion that did not sell.

Example of factless fact table:


The second type of factless fact table is called a coverage table. Coverage tables
are frequently
needed when a primary fact table in a dimensional data warehouse is sparse.
E.g. A sales fact table that records the sales of products in stores on particular days
under each
promotion condition. The sales fact table does answer many interesting questions
but cannot
answer questions about things that did not happen. For instance, it cannot answer
the question,
which products were in promotion that did not sell? because it contains only the
records of
products that did sell. In this case the coverage table comes to the rescue. A record
is placed in
the coverage table for each product in each store that is on promotion in each time
period.
