scd-slowly changing dimension
It is the capturing the slowly changing data which changes
very slowly with respect to the time. for example: the
address of a custumer may change in rare case. the address
of a custumer never changes frequently.
there are 3 types of scd. type1 - here the most recent
changed data is stored
type2- here the recent data as well as all past data
(historical data) is stored
trpe3- here partially historical data and recent data are
stored. it mean it stores most recent update and most recent
history.
As datawarehouse is a historical data, so type2 is more
usefull for it.
(welcome new answers)
