Answer / navneet singh sahni
Slowely Changing Dimensions are those whose data are not
fixed.
SCD types:
SCD type 1: Whose data is not fixed. Historical data are
not saved. Data keeps on changing.-> Current Data
SCD type 2: Whose data is fixed and also save historical
data.
SCD type 3: like SCD type 2 only but save hostorical data
in another table. In one table data will updated and in
another table historical data will be there.
Depends what we are going to use a DWH or Database.

type-1
type-2
type-3
type-1: it will not maintain historical data... that means

by row wise..
type-3: type-3 also maintain historical data but it stores
data column wise and it allow limited nearly 250
