Slowly Changing Dimensions:(SCD)
Over period of time, the value /data associated with
dimensions may change. To track the changes we record the
changes as per the requirement.
There are three types of SCD
SCD 1:No history is maintained. As and when data comes, the
data is entered.
SCD 2: History is maintained
SCD 3: Partial History is maintained.
We maintain history for some columns but not for all.
For example,I have 3 records in a dimension
I have made 1 insert and 1 update. Then if the requirement
is that dimension is to be maintained
In SCD 1 Then
Total number of records is 4 records(1 insert & 1 update)
In SCD 2 Then
Total number of records is 5 records(1 insert & 1 update)
In SCD 3 Then
Total number of records is 4 records(1 insert & 1 update)
NOTE:
History means the slight change in the data stored and
incoming data but it doesn't means years of data.
