Bridge Table between two fact tables
674843Sep 23 2009 — edited Sep 23 2009Hello everybody,
From what I have read on the BI Administration tool help and on this forum, bridge tables are used to define many-to-many relations between dimension sand fact tables. Is it possible to have a bridge table defining a many-to-many relation between two fact tables?
Here is my senario:
1. We have a fact table called fact_Orders describing orders for some products.
2. We have a fact table called fact_Sales describing sales og these products.
3. We have a table describing the transformation from order lines to sales lines which is a many-to-many relation, because it is possible to transform an order in more than two steps.
I was thinking of connecting the two fact tables with a bridge table.
If bridge tables are inappropriate for this case, what could be a better model for my senario?
Thanks for your time.
