NO- SalesRowID is the primary key for the Sales table, hence needed in the model NO- the analysis is not time based No- decimal place is irrelevant in the analysis

I agree with you.

you're thinking in "ops database" mode... In analytics it's not required for tables to have a primary key. Tables would break NF all the time due to performance needs. Also if you read the column description, a sales row is an "unique combination" of Sales Order and Sales Order Details... So if you need to do analytics at those levels, you can go to those columns.

SalesRowID is not needed, the Fact table PK will not be needed to connect to other tables, you will need FKs though. The correct answer is Yes, No, No

But I am thinking that the orderDate is necessary to know when an Item was bought so that one can know the Items that were bought at time and by the same customer. I think is Yes-Yes-No

I think we do not need dates. We are trying to see if they are within the same transaction (or order). The date is completely irrelevant, what we really would want to see is the orderID. There can be many different items bought on the same date that are part of different transactions, or orders.

I agree with Yes - No- No There is SaleOrderNumber that identifies the orders. Date should be the same under the same SalesOrderNumber, so Date can be removed

Yes: Primary key for the fact table is not needed only foreign keys are needed to connect with other dimension tables Yes: OrderDateKey column is needed to connect with the Date dimension table which may be used for analysis. The basket analysis requires date info No: Not necessary

NO - NO - NO Retain Primary Keys in Dimension Tables: Do not remove primary keys from dimension tables. They are essential for establishing and maintaining relationships with the fact table, which is critical for the integrity and performance of your data model.

YES, NO, NO The second answer with assumption of understanding it in a way that we can remove either "OrderDateKey" or "OrderDate" but not both.
