This document provides an overview of slowly changing dimension (SCD) templates that can help data developers identify suitable design approaches for dimension loads in data integration or data warehouse projects. It includes SCD type 2 templates that track historical data using date intervals or versioning to preserve unlimited history, as well as a template that uses dynamic lookups to handle multiple occurrences of dimension keys.

Overview

No Data Integration or DW Project is complete without Dimension Load


building. The set of SCD Templates given here will help Developers identify
suitable design approach for their Dimension load.

This bundle contains following SCD Design Templates.

1. SCD 2 with Date Interval


This design approach tracks historical data by creating multiple records for a
given dimension entity with different effective periods. Unlimited history can
be preserved.

2. SCD 2 with Versioning


This design approach tracks historical data by creating multiple records for a
given dimension entity with different versions. Unlimited history is preserved
for each insert.

3. SCD 2 with Dynamic Lookup


In this design approach, we use dynamic lookup to implement the Slowly
Changing Dimension when source data has multiple occurrence of the same
dimension key.
