Cubes and Fact tables 1

[pavanlaf]

Hi!

Can anyone tell me the diference between drilling down a cube's dimensions and drilling down a fact table? What is the difference between a dimension (of a cube) and a dimensional table( of a fact table)? Are they seperate concepts ? By the way how does OLAP is related to a Datawarehouse ?

Thanks in advance.
