In computing the star schema is the simplest style of data mart schema and is the approach most widely used to develop data warehouses and dimensional data marts.
A dimension type table could be type 1 or type 2 or support both types simultaneously for different columns. The star schema is the explicit data warehouse schema. A type 1 scd always reflects the latest values and when changes in source data are detected the dimension table data is overwritten. A star schema database uses very few joins and each join expresses the relationship between the elements of the underlying business.
