And, so, what - you're looking for someone to come up with your data model for you? Are you offering to hire someone to do it?
I think asking for an example of one isn't going to get you very far. Data models (whether logical or physical) are based on business requirements. I'd assume that the business requirements for this particular customer are very precise. You seemed to indicate before that they already have a data model in a teradata server (I must admit I know nothing about teradata). I'd start with their existing data model. Typically, if this is their "live" data, it's probably optimized for a lot of reads and writes. In a data warehouse, you're probably more interested in optimizing for report generation. But, again, without knowing what kinds of reports they'd want to generate out of their warehouse, it's not like anyone could give you much input.
