Which type of relation between fact and dimension table in star schema and snowflake schema?Like one to one or many to many?
For one dimension record, you will see many fact records associated.Many to one or one to many relationship is not to be confused with number of records or columns in a table. that has nothing to do with a relation
Fact to dimension is many to one...for one dimension record, you will see many fact records associated
Diff between primary index and primary key
What is the main difference between primary index and primary key in teradata? And can we have this two on same column?

3.Surrogate key is a sequencer which is used to uniquely identify a row in a OLAP. This helps in implementing SCD Type 2 in data warehousing.
OLAP:
1). Store historical data of an organization
2). Data is used for BI/ business strategic decision
OLTP
1). Real time transactional data
2). Data is used to have track of transaction details.

What are the types of slowly changingdimension ?Can you explain please types of slowly changingdimension in detail ?
Slowly changing dimensions are 3 types. In scd-1 new data is inserted by deleting old one. so latest information is stored. In scd-2 we can maintain history of data for a particular item. new data is...
SCD are of following types: type 1 - updates changes without preserving history type 2 - stores history data by maintaining versions of the updated data type 3 - either stores current and previous ver...

Aggregate table is a generic term to represent the summaries built in a warehouse. MAterilaized view is the technical implementation of these aggregate tables. Though, Materialized views come with the database specific properties which might not be covered with the generic definition of aggregate tables.
An aggregate table is a table that contains data that is summarized somehow, for example, it contains a summary of Customer by Product by Week. A more granular level of detail would be the transactio...

Relational and dimensional data modeling
How can you say relational is normalized one and data warehouse i.E dimensional modeling is de-normalized one when both model follows the primary key concept in its table to store data
Data obtain from transactional source which is normalized on 3NF. It has been staged and demoralized the data and after denationalization of data re-normalized on 2NF and 3NF. Therefore, It is called Demoralized but it is normalized not like the transactional
Dimensional modeling usually does with 2NF for dimensions and 3NF for facts.
Dimensions are de-normalized for better query performance and for better understanding by business users.
