What are the mapings that we use for slowly changing
dimension table?

Answer Posted / surya

slowly changing dimensions can be classified by three types.
1)Type1:In this dimension we can store only current data
and here insert are treated as inserts and updates are
treated as updates.
2)Type2:In this dimension we can store complete historic
data and it can divided into three types
a)Flag
b)Version
c)Date Range
But in type2 inserts are treated as inserts and updates are
treated as inserts.
3)Type3:In this dimension we can store One time historic
data with current data.Here also inserts are treated as
insert and updates are treated as updates.

It's depend upon the granularity of the organization.
