Using requirements gathered in Opportunity Assessment and Business Analysis, the Data Warehouse Architect creates detailed data models for the data warehouse and/or data mart(s) and creates the physical database definitions.
Facts, dimensions, summaries, indexes, loading tables, staging tables and public tables are defined. Sizing estimates are refined. Database ids and security are implemented.
The Data Warehouse Architect works with your company's Database Administrator (DBA) throughout this process to ensure compatibility with corporate standards and to ensure the DBA will be comfortable supporting the databases into the future.
