CSC496: Data Warehousing and Data Mining - FALL 2020: Assignment - 2 (CLO-C2, CLO-C3)

The document describes an assignment to build a program that implements roll-up and drill-down operations on a data warehouse using a star schema. Students are to: 1) create SQL database tables matching the star schema using data files provided, 2) connect a programming language to the database, 3) implement queries to allow users to roll-up or drill-down totals sales along dimensions, and 4) build a user interface to select the interactions. Examples of SQL queries for drill-down are given. Displaying results as bar graphs earns bonus points.

CSC496: Data Warehousing and Data Mining – FALL 2020

Assignment – 2 [CLO-C2, CLO-C3]


Deadline: December 08, 2020 Max. Marks: 10
Note: This assignment can be done in a group of 2.

In this assignment, you are going to build a program, in any language of your choice, that implements
basic ROLAP interactions within a data warehouse using the following star schema:

Figure 1: Star schema

The data, that each of the dimension tables and the fact table contains, is provided in the following five
files:
 BranchDimension.txt
 ItemDimension.txt
 LocationDimension.txt
 TimeDimension.txt
 SalesFact.txt

In order to implement the desired functionality, your program is going to offer, you should follow the
following steps:

Step-1: Using SQL Server Management Studio, create a database 1

Step-2: Using SQL Server Management Studio, create the four-dimension tables and the fact table
within the database created in Step-1.2

Step-3: Import the provided data to the corresponding tables of your database.

Step-4: In any programming language of your choice (Java, C#, Python etc.), make a connection to the
database created in Step-1.3

Step-5: Implement a program that allows user to do the following:

 roll-up on total sales by year and by quarter


 roll-up on total sales by country, by state, and by city
 roll-up on total sales by item brand and by item type (digital or analog)
 drill down on total sales by month and by day

 drill down on total sales by item name
 drill down on total sales by street address

Step-6: Use SQL statements to implement each roll-up, drill-down. For example, the following query will
drill down on total sales by street address:

select sum(F.dollars_sold) as totalsales, D.street


from SalesFactTable F, LocationDim D
where D.locationkey = F.locationkey
group by D.street

Step-7: Implement a simple user interface (CLI or GUI) to allow activation of each of the interactions
mentioned in Step-5

Step-8: Display the results in the form of table. Usage of bar graphs will give you 20% bonus points (2
marks).
