HW-4 Data Warehouse Solution

This homework will give you hands-on practice in working with the structure of a dimensional model /star schema data warehouse. You will first create a data warehouse and insert sample data by using scripts provided. The data warehouse will then be used to answer the query problems given below.

You will be using MySQL workbench to write SQL for this assignment, the tool we downloaded during the class. If you haven’t downloaded yet, you will need to download and install MySQL workbench on your computer. Downloads are available at: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/

Choose the download file that matches your computer’s OS and version. Windows based installation files are also available in Canvas.

Creating the Database


You need to download the “HW_4_SQL_Sales _DW.sql” script file from Canvas, and execute it. It will create sample database and tables, and then load the tables with data. The script runs fine as-is without any modification. The script begins with a command to DROP the table before creating it. This allows you to run the script over and over as needed.

Before executing scripts, make sure your MySQL instance is running and Safe Updates is unchecked (Edit - SQL Editor - Uncheck Safe Updates).

There is an ERD for this data warehouse in the Canvas called “HW_4 DW_ERD.pdf”. You should download ERD and keep it handy while doing the homework. It is very helpful to have table, column names and their relationship in front of you when writing SQL queries.

Your HW_4_SQL_Sales_DW database consists of the following tables:

    • Dim_Product

    • Dim_Store

    • Dim_Customer

    • Dim_Date

    • Dim_SalesPerson

    • Fact_ProductSales

After running scripts, run the ‘Verify’ script, as below. You should see the following five dimension and one fact tables and row counts for each


Note: Please let instructor know if your tables/counts are different.
    • Verify row counts

USE HW_4_SQL_sales_dw;

SELECT 'Table', 'Rows' FROM dim_customer
UNION
SELECT 'dim_customer', COUNT(*) FROM dim_customer
UNION
SELECT 'dim_date', COUNT(*) FROM dim_date
UNION
SELECT 'dim_product', COUNT(*) FROM dim_product
UNION
SELECT 'dim_salesperson', COUNT(*) FROM dim_salesperson
UNION
SELECT 'dim_store', COUNT(*) FROM dim_store
UNION
SELECT 'fact_productsales', COUNT(*) FROM fact_productsales;

Data Warehouse Query Problems

    • You must submit in BOTH your SQL and your ANSWER SET (unless otherwise specified).

    • Make sure to use table/column aliases, where applicable. Also, use derived column names, e.g. Sum (SalesPrice * Quantity) = Total Revenue so derived column should name as Total Revenue

    • All Questions are equally weighted.




Formulas:

Revenue = SalesPrice * Quantity
Cost = ProductCost * Quantity
Profit = Revenue – Cost

Note: If question is asking for Total then it is asking to use aggregate function, e.g., Total Sales Price = Sum (SalesPrice).
