what is initial load and incremental load..

Answer / manikandan

The only difference that the inital load jobs were set to
first truncate the tables and then do a complete load and
the incremental load was set to insert new rows and update
existing rows for DIMENSION Tables. Facts jobs were same
(truncate and complete load)
