Question on Business Objects Unverse Star Vs. Snowflake?

[glbender]

Does anyone have any information or detail information regarding Business Objects-Star Schema vs. Snowflake?
Is there a schema that Business Objects works better with?
Thanks for any documenation or web-sites you can provide me.

Doesn't matter. Snowflakes work great!

This is a factor of your data, not the reporting tool.

Steve Thank you very much for your response!
The reason why I posted the question is because somebody feels here snowflaking is bad.

We have Many Dimensional Tables going against a Fact Hiearchy Table and goes to a "USER" Table to ID the the Roles. We have the possibilty of Cardentialites.
One more question when add a Context for one level Dimensional. Now it's looking at for all my tables? If I don't I get bad data and it splits my SQL?
Any Idea's?
I am looking for a an excellent resource for Universe Design. Our Universe design could be all lot better and I have been researching all day to make sure going forward we don't keep making the same mistakes.. Any idea's with that either.
Thanks Again!
