Answer / rajat singh
Surrogate key is the primary key for the Dimensional table.
Surrogate key is a substitution for the natural primary key.
Data warehouses typically use a surrogate, (also known as
artificial or identity key), key for the dimension tables
primary keys. They can use Infa sequence generator, or
Oracle sequence, or SQL Server Identity values for the
surrogate key.
It is useful because the natural primary key (i.e. Customer
Number in Customer table) can change and this makes updates
more difficult and also used in SCDs to preserve historical
data.

Answer / swagatika
IN DWH environment,Every dimension table is integrated with surrogate key,which is byforced created to maintain the consistancy of data warehouse targets.It never generate the alfa numeric number of primary key & also replace the missing values.
The natural primary key ,which is coming from database is considered as alternate key in DWH Environment

hi friends ... i have insurance project(informatica),can you please tell me how many table and mappings we need to use?and explain me.. thank you
how can we perform incremental aggregation?explain with example?
How will you update the row without using update statergy?
i have flatfile source. i want to load the maximum salary of each deptno into target. what isthe mapping flow
without using rank transformation how can we rank items by using some other transformations
What do you mean by Parameter file? Why do we use it and what all things we can define in a parameter file?
wt is Dynamic lookup Transformation? when we use?how we use?
How many transformations can be used in mapplets.
case and like function in informtica (my source is XML). case when OS Like'%Windows%' and OS Like '%200%' then 'Windows 200' case when OS Like'%Windows%' and OS Like '%200%'and OS like '%64%' then 'windows 200 64 bit' etc.,,
I've a denormalized table EMP(empno,ename,phone,addr1,addr2,fax,email). Now I want to insert the record into target in the format that, there will be 2 target rows for 1 source record. In target the row needs to be inserted as: ROW1: empno,ename,addr1,phone ROW2: empno,ename,addr2,fax,email And I'm not allowed to normalize transformation. How to achieve?
What is a standalone command task?
what are cost based and rule based approaches and what is the difference?
