This completes the process of loading our staging table. It's now ready to be used for loading our dimensions and our cube. We've now gone through every process we needed for creating our data warehouse. All that remains is for us to complete the deployment and execution of the remaining objects. The process is the same for all the objects.
At this point, the only issue we need to be concerned with is the order in which we deploy and execute the objects. We don't want to deploy and execute a mapping to load a dimension, for example, until we've deployed the dimension itself; otherwise we'll get errors. We can't deploy the dimension successfully until the underlying table has been deployed. We got a small taste of a possible error that can occur due to incorrectly timing our table and dimension deployments earlier in the chapter when we saw the error that could occur when deploying a dimension that had been changed before the modified underlying table...
