Hi all,
I'm new to datawarehousing. I've built a DW with two fact tables, each one
will be added with more than 5 to 10 millions rows each day. Do you think
that this volume is compatible with Analysis Services 2005 or do I have to
change the model I use, by creating a fact table for each customer I have
(for instance).

Second question: if the awnser of the previous question is that I can keep
the model I've built, will I have to investigate cube partition ?

thank's.

You can work with this volume of data in Analysis Services 2005 without
changing your schema (and I strongly suggest you to not change your
schema!).
You can use partitions to handle this volume of data without having a
single big partition that is hard to process if for whatever reasons
you need to full process your cube.

Be careful with aggregation design - you really need preaggregations on
this volume of data.

Hi Marco,

What do you mean exactly by "aggregation design"?
What is exactly preaggregation? Do you know some references on the web?
Thanks
Jerome
