If no. of source columns is changing every time (First time
it is 10 next time it is 20 so on). How to deal with it
without changing mapping?

Answer Posted / shrikant

Hello,
If I understand this question properly, it says that the
no. of "Source" columns are changing.
I do not agree with this scenario. Probably in
Datawarehousing, you won't find such a design. As far as
DWH is concerned, it takes the data from the OLTP systems &
after performing some operations (E-extract, T- transform)
it finally loads the data in some targets.
Here, as per the question, the question itself arises for
the OLTP design. No any OLTP (or database design principal)
system suggests a varying number of columns.
So, please do not get confused by such trivial kind of
questions. DWH is a very disciplined subject & it follows a
very good standards. Please go through the concepts first.
You will get a clear picture of DWH then.
