data warehouse - Are textual fields ever allowed in fact tables? -

-

Is there any case where I can have a text field such as details in the facts table?

There is currently a fact table of meeting events (cereal: line per meeting), with many dimensions like date, client, location etc. I need to insert a meeting topic in the fact sheet. Is it okay, even though this is not a solution (I have not seen some examples).

Any ideas or advice from past experiences?

Thanks

This, as a "dimension dimension": a dimension so much There is no need to create a table for it, a common example would be an invoice number: They are not matrix, but because they are very unique, this 32-bit FK is included in an invoice table with 128-bit CHAR (16) fields With a wrong economy, many records in the form of your facts table. It should be done with caution, because they actually make table rows wide.

The junk dimension is usually a better option, if you have more than two dimension dimensions. Of course, if there is one dimension for which you can attach appropriately rather than the text, then it is better.

After selecting the copies of the buffer in Linux, after the text, we can click and paste the button between the mouse. I think there is a special buffer for this, I want to use it. Programming Language: C ++ Your Library: Qt Thanks. There is just one more correct answer than Paul Dixon, which answers your needs: / P > QClipboard * clipboard = QApplication :: clipboard (); CastString Selected Text = Clipboard-> Text (QClipboard :: Selection);

I have examined the performance statistics of my website today. I have received a warning (or error may occur) that is given below Add Terminal Headers Here are 15 static components without a 15-futures end date * (no end) Http://www.example.com/video/css/global.css * (no time limit) http://www.example.com/video/js/global.js * (no expiration ) Http: //www.example.com/video/images/main-bg.png what it means and how to achieve it both in PHP and ASP.Net. I am on a shared hosting server, so please tell me some ways to use the code, because I can not make any modifications at the end of the server. If I expire the header, then there is no chance that if I make changes to the CSS, then the user will not be able to remove them immediately because CSS and other files have a fixed time limit (1 month, week ) Are cached for.

sql server - How can I determine which of my SQL 2005 statistics are unused? -

-
After a few years, one of my biggest databases has deposited 73 figures out of its largest tables. With Indexes, I can run many types of reports and queries, how often / heavily specific indexes are used. What is an equivalent for data? We are running SQL 2005. To make statistics automatically managed and honest, I would like to "update statistics", "create statistics" and There is no information about any management except "drop statistics" orders. In theory, UPDATE should handle the addition and removal of statistical data. In addition, I've never heard about the amount of storage or storage taking in large amounts, so I'm not sure whether there is any reason for the alarm or not. If you are seeing a potential problem, then I would suggest running an update before, if it does not clean it, it is leaving and then it appears to be safe operation (because it is the only query optimizer Is for). I will not leave "left" in the
