2 Logical Data Model

The logical data model of the Oracle Airlines Data Model defines the business entities and their relationships and provides an understanding of the business and data requirements for the Oracle Airlines Data Model data warehouse.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Note:

The figures showing complete diagrams with attributes and entities are available with the Oracle Airlines Data Model IP Patch. The IP Patch includes additional documentation. For information on obtaining the IP Patch, see the Oracle Airlines Data Model Release Notes and for the latest information about Oracle Airlines Data Model patch sets, go to My Oracle Support at https://support.oracle.com.

Lookup Entities

In Oracle Airlines Data Model lookup entities describe the relatively static or descriptive data in the data warehouse. Lookup entities define the descriptions for frequently used attributes. Using lookup entities saves space, as the referring fact table holds only a small key or code and foreign key, and Oracle Airlines Data Model stores the space consuming description in a lookup table and does not repeat the description in each transaction row in which it is referenced.

Table 2-2 lists the lookup entities.

Aggregate Entities

Aggregate entities hold data rolled up from the Base or Derived entities at different levels across different dimensional hierarchies.

Table 2-5 lists the Aggregate entities.

Logical Data Model Entity Dictionary

Table 2-6 through Table 2-8 list the logical data model entities, in alphabetical order.
