When the value of any of the selected attributes changes, the current value is stored as the old value and the new value becomes the current value.

What are the different types of Scds used in data warehousing?

Very simply, there are 6 types of Slowly Changing Dimension that are commonly used, they are as follows:

• Type 0 – Fixed Dimension. No changes allowed, dimension never changes.
• Type 1 – No History.
• Type 2 – Row Versioning.
• Type 3 – Previous Value column.
• Type 4 – History Table.

The dimension key of the new table should be maintained in the fact table.
