OU Babysitter Club
Promoting Dimensions

The OU Business Association is conducting a babysitter service as a fundraiser

for different clubs in the college. When a customer is entered into the system,
the OU Club coordinator gets name, address, and phone. The coordinator also
records each babysitting job, the amount paid for it and the sitter assigned to the
job. Each person may sign up to credit only one club and the system keeps the
contact person and phone number for each participating club.

The treasurer wants a data warehouse for this. He would like to be able to
determine how much each customer was billed by week, month or year. How
much each employee earned, also summed by time periods. He is interested in
how much work is done on weekends, holidays or other special days. Develop a
data warehouse to provide this information.

2. DPMA Bookstore
Promoting Dimensions

The DPMA Club at XU operates a small bookstore for professional books. The
club orders a selection of books for display and records them in a catalog. When
members order a book, they pay for it and their name and the books they order
are added to the order list. When the book arrives the member is notified to pick
up the book. The Entity-Relationship diagram for this problem is below.

The club wants to track member activity including amount spent, cost of books,
time for delivery, etc. Draw a dimensional model for this problem.

3. Oklahoma Vehicle Registration System
Facts vs Dimensions

The State of Oklahoma has a problem keeping up with uninsured motorists. The
problem is that motorists can register their cars and show proof of insurance at
that time but drop the insurance as soon as the registration is issued. The IT
task force proposes to solve this problem by tracking vehicles and insurance
policies issued in the state. The system should track insurance agents by ID
number with the name, address, phone, and insurance companies from which
they provide insurance. Each policy an agent issues will be tracked for vehicle
ID number (VIN), agency, insurance provider, start date and stop date of the
policy coverage. The system will identify vehicles which have no current
coverage and notify the owner by mail that this coverage must be renewed. The
department of motor vehicles will monitor the list of uncovered vehicles and print
weekly reports for enforcement use.

Multiple versions of a fact table

The director of a bowling tournament needs database to connect players with

games. The database records player name, player phone, game time, lane-
number and score for each player. Each player is on a team for which we need
to know the team name and captain. If the team is a company team we also
need to know the corporate sponsor and billing address for league fees and

Changing and Inconsistent attributes.

Consumer Cards provides affiliate credit cards for Universities. Graduates or other
people who would like to support a particular university get a credit card with the
university logo on it. Customers can have one or more cards at a time. The card
company totals the amount charged on each card each month and pays the specified
University fund a percent of that amount determined by the rate negotiated. Consumer
Cards wants a data warehouse to track the results of this process over time, including
customer, the state where the customer lived at the time the charge was credited and the
fund credited at the time. Design this data warehouse.

11. Runners Magazine
Generating Facts, Snapshot Tables.
Runner’s Magazine wants to develop a data warehouse to keep track of runners and their

average time of each runner every year for their record history. Records are kept by age
groups (under 40, 40 to 50, and over 50).
