Staging Area:

A staging area, or landing zone, is an intermediate storage area used for data processing during the extract,
transform and load (ETL) process. The data staging area sits between the data source(s) and the data target(s),
which are often data warehouses, data marts, or other data repositories

To create a staging area, we have to use SSDT tool and create a new project as

Dimension Table
A Dimension Table is a table in a star schema of a data warehouse. Data warehouses are built
using dimensional data models which consist of fact and dimension tables. Dimension tables are used to
describe dimensions; they contain dimension keys, values and attributes.

Fact Table

A fact table is found at the center of a star schema or snowflake schema surrounded by dimension tables. A fact
table consists of facts of a particular business process e.g., sales revenue by month by product. Facts are also known
as measurements or metrics. A fact table record captures a measurement or a metric.

Cube

Cubes are data processing units composed of fact tables and dimensions from the data warehouse. They provide
multidimensional views of data, querying and analytical capabilities to clients.
