• Key Concepts: 
  Dimensions are the basic building blocks of the In-Memory Database (IMD) in SAP. They are used to store and organize data in a structured way. Dimensions are used to define the structure of the data, such as the number of columns, the type of data stored in each column, and the relationships between columns. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Dimensions can be used to create a hierarchical structure for data storage. This allows for efficient retrieval of data from the IMD. Dimensions can also be used to define relationships between different pieces of data, such as between customer and product information. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating dimensions, it is important to consider how they will be used in order to ensure that they are properly structured and optimized for efficient retrieval. It is also important to consider how the dimensions will interact with other components of the IMD, such as indexes and views.
