What is slowely changing dimensions?why we are used SCD?

Answer Posted / navneet singh sahni

Slowely Changing Dimensions are those whose data are not
fixed.

SCD types:

SCD type 1: Whose data is not fixed. Historical data are
not saved. Data keeps on changing.-> Current Data

SCD type 2: Whose data is fixed and also save historical
data.

SCD type 3: like SCD type 2 only but save hostorical data
in another table. In one table data will updated and in
another table historical data will be there.

Depends what we are going to use a DWH or Database.
