47. What are Additive Facts?
 
  • The fact tables are mostly very huge and almost never fetch a single record into our answer set.
  • We fetch a very large number of records on which we then do, adding, counting, averaging, or taking the min or max. The most common of them is adding.
  • Applications are simpler if they store facts in an additive format as often as possible.
  • Thus, in the grocery example, we don’t need to store the unit price.
  • We compute the unit price by dividing the dollar sales by the unit sales whenever necessary.
