What if we don't have any joins in our datasource(s)?

[Jaspire]

Hi,
To build a powercube, I want to use each dimension table as a separate iqd datasource and fact table as another iqd datasource without any joins between those datasources. I will just build the dimension map using the columns in each datasource and then use the fact table for measures. Will I get correct results? I saw in documentation somewhere that we should not expect the powerplay transformer to do joins for us. If I don't do joins in the datasources ans use several independant datasources, how will the displayed data be? Will I get correct results? Do I have a chance of getting wrong results? or Is there any other factor that effects that accuracy of data displayed in this case.
I appreciate if you could suggest me even smallest issue related to this.
Thanks,
Jaspire

Actually, I prefer the method which you will be using... True Dimension and Fact queries, and it will work very well and efficiently.

In Transformer, the relationship between the Dimension and Fact IQDs is made by the Column Names.  So, if your Time Dimensions is built from Year down to Date, and your Date Column is named DateKey for instance, your Fact should also have a DateKey column, of same datatype, which will 'relate' them and give scope in the model.

100% agree with rockytopmark's comments.
Separate dimensional iqds make for nice modularity and reuse in other models.
