    Star schema contains the dimesion tables mapped around one or more fact tables.

    It is a denormalised model.

    No need to use complicated joins.

    Queries results fastly.

    Snowflake schema

    It is the normalised form of Star schema.

    contains indepth joins ,bcas the tbales r splitted in to many pieces.We can easily do modification directly in the tables.

    We hav to use comlicated joins ,since we hav more tables .

    There will be some delay in processing the Query .
