1 1 DATAWAREHOUSING QUESTIONS by Mausami Sawarkar 1) What does the term 'Ad-hoc Analysis' mean? Choice 1 Business analysts use a subset of the data for analysis. Choice 2: Business analysts access the Data Warehouse data infrequently. Choice 3: Business analysts access the Data Warehouse data from different locations. Choice 4: Business analysts do not know data requirements prior to beginning work. Choice 5: Business analysts use sampling techniques. 2) What should be the business analyst's involvement in monitoring the performance of a Data Warehouse or Data Mart? Choice 1: Be patient when load monitoring on the Data Warehouse or Data Mart is taking place. Choice 2: Become experts in SQL queries. Choice 3: No involvement in performance monitoring. Choice 4: Contact IT if a query takes too long or does not complete. Choice 5: Complete all required training on the query tools they will be using 3) What factor heavily influences data warehouse size estimates? Choice 1: The design of the warehouse schemas Choice 2: The size of the source system schemas Choice 3: The record size of the source tables Choice 4: The number of expected data warehouse users Choice 5: The number of customers an organization has Data warehouses or data marts allow organizations to define 'alert' conditions -- an alert is raised when something noteworthy has taken place. For implementing a facility of 'alerts', 4) what is the advantage of using a WEB interface over a client/server approach? Choice 1: Access to the 'Alert' report is possible through a highly accessible means already available within the organization. Choice 2: The selection criteria used in determining when an 'alert' needs to be issued is easier to implement using a WEB browser. Choice 3: As long as the appropriate individual can access the 'alert', how it is implemented does not present an advantage. Choice 4:'Alerts' can be directed only to the requestor of the 'alert'. Choice 5: Access to the 'alert' data can be tightly controlled. 5) Which of the following statements correctly describe a Dimension table in Dimensional Modeling? Choice 1: Dimension tables contain fields that describe the facts. Choice 2: Dimension tables do not contain numeric fields. Choice 3: Dimension tables are typically larger than fact tables. Choice 4: Dimension tables do not need system-generated keys. Choice 5: Dimension tables usually have fewer fields than fact tables 6) How are dimensions in a Multi-Dimensional Database related? Choice 1: Hierarchically. Choice 2: Through foreign keys. Choice 3: Through a hierchy and foreign keys. Choice 4: Through a network. Choice 5: Through an inverse list. 7) What is a primary risk of a 'phased' implementation? Choice 1: Previous implementations may need to be reworked. Choice 2: The project may lose momentum.

Choice 4: Any business data occurring in large volumes. Choice 5: Summarized data. 14) How can the managers of a department best understand the cost of their use of the data warehouse? Choice 1: A percentage of the business department's budget should be directed to the maintenance and enhancement of the Data Warehouse. Choice 2: Institute a charge-back system of computer costs for the access to the Data Warehouse. Choice 3: Develop a training program for department management.
