Can any body will explain about sarrogat key?
Thanks in advance...........Prakash

Answer Posted / vidhya

Surrogate key: Also known as Sequence id in ORACLE or
Identity column in SQL SERVER (whatever you call to your
convenience).Auto generated keys by the system.

DWH: Used here as a substitute of existing primary key to
encourage duplicates and thereby misleading the rule of
third normal form. Thus maintaining the history of records
which supports SCD(slowly Changing Dimension III)

3NF: Each table should have one primary key

I have 2 doubts regarding the "Input Control" functionality in BI4: 1) Can the Input Controls in BI4 be manipulated? I mean, can we change the IC display as BOLD or change the values from Italics to regular? Or change the colors? 2) How to get hierarchy type control in IC? Let's say my first IC is for Country and second is for State. If I select a particulat country from Ist IC,second one should show me states belonging to selected country. Is that possible? Thanks in advance!!!
