Answer / 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
