I've been using SQL Server and SSRS for a while but am branching out into the worlds of Analysis services and Integration services.

Problem I can't find a good explanation of what Fact and Dimension tables are.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good article / website or even explain it on here.

I suspect that when its eventually explained properly, it'll click into place but I'm struggling to find a straght answer.

Many thanks.
