Tables and table names in Optimize are derived from the objects they represent, specifically dimensions, facts, and event maps. When you create a dimension, fact, or event map, a new database is created to reflect this new object. There are two types of tables in an Optimize schema: Fact tables and Dimension tables. Note that event maps are metadata, and the tables related to them are beyond the scope of this document.

For example a dimension named Partner would have a corresponding table name of BAM_DIM_PARTNE_V1. If additional Partner dimensions are created, the "V" value is incremented to avoid naming conflicts. To continue our example, if another dimension named PartnershipType were created, the corresponding table would be BAM_DIM_PARTNE_V11. The order of "V" values is V1, V11, V12, V13, V14, and so on.
