What is surrogate key?

Answer Posted / rajat singh

Surrogate key is the primary key for the Dimensional table.
Surrogate key is a substitution for the natural primary key.

Data warehouses typically use a surrogate, (also known as
artificial or identity key), key for the dimension tables
primary keys. They can use Infa sequence generator, or
Oracle sequence, or SQL Server Identity values for the
surrogate key.

It is useful because the natural primary key (i.e. Customer
Number in Customer table) can change and this makes updates
more difficult and also used in SCDs to preserve historical
data.
