The data warehouses mostly we are using to get analyze and
summarize data in sectors of time. These reports are often based on the
financial year, the last quarter, last month or last week, etc. By building a
date dimension table in our data warehouse we provide a reusable date lookup
table that can help ease the creation of date based reports.
Let’s create a DimDate table
Script to create DimDate table

Table created successfully. Now I am populating this table
using the below script.

I am populating the date for 20 years starting from '2010-01-01'.
Run this script.
Now see the DimDate table
Hope this script help you to create and populate the DimDate
dimension table. In next post we will see how to create and populate the
DimTime Dimension table.
Thanks!
