* Allow star join optimizations While our bitmap scan allows multiple indexes to be joined to get to heap rows, a star joins allows multiple dimension _tables_ to be joined to index into a larger main fact table. The join is usually performed by either creating a cartesian product of all the dimmension tables and doing a single join on that product or using subselects to create bitmaps of each dimmension table match and merge the bitmaps to perform the join on the fact table.
