Multidimensional

Databases 101

6 lessons, 15 minutes

Multidimensional makes sense when:
  • You have many related tables that all need to talk to each other
  • You’re modeling a complex real-world system (org structure, product roadmap, OKR hierarchy)
  • Multiple teams use the same doc and need different slices of the same data
For most teams, Related tables or Base/Detail handles more than you think. Multidimensional is for the cases where that’s genuinely not enough.
