- While our bitmap scan allows multiple indexes to be joined to get
- to heap rows, a star joins allows multiple dimension _tables_ to
- be joined to index into a larger main fact table. The join is
- usually performed by either creating a cartesian product of all
- the dimmension tables and doing a single join on that product or
- using subselects to create bitmaps of each dimmension table match
- and merge the bitmaps to perform the join on the fact table. Some
