Q1: The CEO of AdventureWorks Inc. wants to build a data mart to keep track of the sale orders’ performance. Specifically, he wants to know the total order quantity for each product, total order price, and total tax order percentage paid by the customer (defined by the total tax amount divided by total order price). Provide a 4-step dimensional model in the SQL comment section and create a data mart solution in SQL for the dimension model that you propose.

Q2: The CEO of AdventureWorks Inc. wants to build a data mart to keep track of the sale orders’ performance. The figure below shows the current design of the data mart. However, the data mart designer(s) assume that one order can only be paid by one credit card. If one order can be paid by multiple credit cards, what changes should we make to keep track of the total order amount and total tax amount for each credit card? Create a data mart solution in SQL for the dimension model that you propose.

Paper For Above Instructions

In the modern business environment, data-driven decision-making has become crucial for operational success. The AdventureWorks database provides a rich landscape to analyze and derive insights from sales orders. The CEO of AdventureWorks, Inc. has outlined specific needs to enhance the company's data mart for improved tracking of sales order performance. This paper provides a solution based on the given business scenario through the implementation of a dimensional model and SQL data mart solutions.

Q1: Dimensional Model Outline

The first question requires designing a dimensional model to track total order quantity, total order price, and total tax order percentage for each product. The process to create a data mart can be encapsulated in a four-step dimensional modeling approach:

  1. Identify Business Processes: Determine the sales processing activities that generate measurable data that need to be captured. In this case, we will focus on the sales orders, which include order quantity, product ID, total order price, and tax amount.
  2. Identify Dimensions: The key dimensions that associate with the sales orders include Customer Dimension (with attributes like Customer ID, Name, and Address), Product Dimension (with Product ID, Product Name, and Category), and Time Dimension (with Order Date).
  3. Identify Facts: The fact table will primarily consist of Sales Fact which includes the measures: Total Order Quantity, Total Order Price, and Total Tax Amount. We can also calculate the Total Tax Percentage as a derived measure (Total Tax Amount ÷ Total Order Price).
  4. Build the Schema: The star schema is a commonly used database schema which allows easy access to data, leading to better performance in data retrieval. In the star schema, the Sales Fact table links to the Product, Customer, and Time Dimension tables.

Based on this model, SQL code to create the main components of the data mart would appear as follows:



-- Create Customer Dimension


CREATE TABLE Customer_Dimension (


Customer_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,


Customer_Name VARCHAR(100),


Customer_Address VARCHAR(255)


);


-- Create Product Dimension


CREATE TABLE Product_Dimension (


Product_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,


Product_Name VARCHAR(100),


Product_Category VARCHAR(100)


);


-- Create Time Dimension


CREATE TABLE Time_Dimension (


Time_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,


Order_Date DATE


);


-- Create Sales Fact Table


CREATE TABLE Sales_Fact (


Order_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,


Customer_ID INT,


Product_ID INT,


Time_ID INT,


Total_Order_Quantity INT,


Total_Order_Price DECIMAL(10, 2),


Total_Tax_Amount DECIMAL(10, 2),


FOREIGN KEY (Customer_ID) REFERENCES Customer_Dimension(Customer_ID),


FOREIGN KEY (Product_ID) REFERENCES Product_Dimension(Product_ID),


FOREIGN KEY (Time_ID) REFERENCES Time_Dimension(Time_ID)


);

Calculating Order Metrics

To calculate the required metrics like Total Order Quantity, Total Order Price, and Total Tax Percentage, we can use SQL queries which aggregate the necessary data:



SELECT 


P.Product_Name,


SUM(SF.Total_Order_Quantity) AS Total_Quantity,


SUM(SF.Total_Order_Price) AS Total_Price,


(SUM(SF.Total_Tax_Amount) / SUM(SF.Total_Order_Price)) * 100 AS Total_Tax_Percentage


FROM 


Sales_Fact SF


JOIN 


Product_Dimension P ON SF.Product_ID = P.Product_ID


GROUP BY 


P.Product_Name;

Q2: Changes for Multiple Credit Cards

The second question addresses the scenario where a single order can be paid through multiple credit cards. This requires restructuring the existing data mart to allow for multiple payment methods linked to a single order. The current design assumes a one-to-one relationship between orders and credit cards, which is inadequate for this situation.

To accommodate this change, we would introduce a new Payment Dimension that can capture multiple payments per order. Here’s the adapted approach:

  1. Create a Payment Dimension: This will store Payment_ID, Order_ID, Credit_Card_Number, and Payment_Amount.
  2. Modify the Sales Fact Table: We will adapt the Sales Fact Table to link to the Payment Dimension rather than directly assuming one payment method.


-- Create Payment Dimension


CREATE TABLE Payment_Dimension (


Payment_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,


Order_ID INT,


Credit_Card_Number VARCHAR(20),


Payment_Amount DECIMAL(10, 2),


FOREIGN KEY (Order_ID) REFERENCES Sales_Fact(Order_ID)


);

This design allows us to track multiple payments for any single order while still being able to aggregate totals properly by joining the Payment Dimension with the Sales Fact Table.

Conclusion

The dimensional model created for AdventureWorks provides a comprehensive solution for the CEO's requests, enabling robust analysis of sales order performance. Moreover, by updating the model to accommodate multiple payment processing methods, the data mart remains flexible and scalable for the future needs of the organization. SQL-based implementations ensure that data integrity and performance remain priorities.
