In SCD type 2 if we had select date range.
then suppose we had inserted today's date(eq. date is 30 aug
2010) then start date will be today's date(30 aug 2010)
what will be the end date,we cant leave it blank?

Answer Posted / cbr

In SCD type 2 effective date approach the target table
structure should have kay column, ee_start_date,
eff_end_date and source columns.

1. eff_start_date will be "sysdate"
2. eff_end_date will be "future date"

ex: 01-01-3000(this is what the future date means)

i hope this will help you
