The document discusses dimensional modeling best practices for a retail sales case study. It outlines a four-step process: 1) select the business process, 2) declare the grain, 3) choose dimensions, 4) identify facts. For the retail case, the process modeled is point-of-sale sales, with a grain of individual transactions. Key dimensions are date, product, store, and promotion. Facts include sales quantity, price, amount, and costs. The document also discusses design considerations like degenerate dimensions, extensibility, and surrogate keys.
