Snowflake Schemas

In this exercise, you will create a Lakehouse for a restaurant chain, load a fact table and related dimension tables, and explore the resulting snowflake schema. We will build a model with six tables:

Table Description
fact_orders Daily sales order data from all restaurants
dim_menuitems Information about the different menu items
dim_menucategories Information about the different categories of the menu items
dim_restaurants Information about the different restaurants
dim_city Information about the cities where the restaurants are located
dim_state Information about the states where the cities are located

Note: If you get an error about an API rate limit, this usually happens because a previous Fabric task has not completed. You can view active Fabric tasks from the Monitor page (located on the left vertical menu). Canceling old Fabric tasks in the Monitor page will usually resolve the rate limit error.
