Time Dimension Generator / Builder
Use this (free) service to generate a time dimension for data
warehouse/OLAP applications. The generator outputs a relational
table (as INSERT-statements or comma-separated values;
45+ columns) which can be loaded into your data warehouse time table.
The generator builds the following hierarchies:
Each hierarchy level contains an integer key (defining navigational
paths and chronological sorting), a name (e.g. "Q2"), a textual
description (e.g. "Second Quarter"), and a number of different flags
(e.g. isWorkday which "flags" work days). Use the keys
for building and sorting the hierarchies, the name- and text columns
for showing the member values and the flags for your specific
reporting requirements (all flags are integer 0's or
1's allowing both COUNT and SUM
aggregation). Use this dimension as a starting point for building a
time dimension that suits the specific needs of your data warehouse.
To build the time dimension, please review the configuration settings
below and press the "Generate Time Dimension"-button on the bottom of
the page. To further configure the time dimension use
UPDATE-statements after loading the table into the
database.
