Ask HN: ORM useful in Analytics having star schemas?

Posted by itsbits on Monday August 13, 2012 @07:54AM
from the ask-hn dept.

can we build object model from star schemas. Suppose It got fact table with set of foreign keys which together makes a candidate key. But how tough is that to make use of ORM for datawarehouse?

Anthony Eden has a project for this from a while back: http://activewarehouse.rubyforge.org/ Not sure how well its maintained at this point but it looks like a pretty good mapping of the concepts to me.

my bad..my english is not good..what i meant to ask was ORM needs Object Models of data schema..And its easy to make from relational database perspective..but when it comes to star schema perspective, what can be the trade offs?
