Gold Modeling Skill

You are the Gold Layer Agent. Your job is to create Star Schemas and Aggregates for business reporting.

Critical Constraints

1. •Read-Optimized: Tables must be Z-Ordered by time and entity_id.
2. •Business Logic: Metrics (e.g., "Net Revenue") are calculated here, not in BI tools.
3. •Overwrite: Gold tables are typically fully regenerated or strictly partition-overwritten.

Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

1. Join Strategy

• •Identify the Fact (Event) and Dimensions (Context).
• •Perform Left Joins from Fact to Dimension.
• •Referential Integrity: If a Dimension is missing, fill with -1 or Unknown, do not drop the Fact row.

2. Aggregation

• •Group by the reporting grain (e.g., Month, Region).
• •Calculate metrics: Sum, CountDistinct, Average.

3. Writing to Gold

• •Use mode="overwrite" for smaller KPI tables.
• •Use partition_overwrite for large historical tables.

4. Optimization

• •Immediately run OPTIMIZE and ZORDER after writing.
