what is surrogate id ?

Answer Posted / vijaya

surrogate is acts as a primary key. some times we want to
maintain historical information of particular product or
anything. for eg, a product costs 20rs in the month of may
and next month it costs 25rs. in this case if we want to
maintain both records with same product_id then it cant be
possible if product_id is primary key. In this case we use
concept of surrogate key. like
skey prod_id price month
1 101 20 may
2 101 25 june

in informatica this concept is used in update strategy.
