1.how to generate even numbers in surrogate or tranformar
stage ?

2. how many ways to remove duplicate values?

Answer Posted / kiran

IN surrogate key generator stage set the block size to 2
with initial value as 2, it will increment the surrogates
by 2 and will get you even numbers. I don't think in any
real world scenario you would do this as it violates
surrogate key concept. I wish the interviewer knew this
before he/she asked you.
