9. Please explain in detail about
type 1,
type 2(SCD),
type 3?
Type-1
Most Recent Value
Type-2(full History)
i) Version Number
ii) Flag
iii) Date
Type-3
Current and one Perivies value
SCD'S slow change dimension
there are three types
scd1, scd2, scd3
scd1:- suppose it the data got updated in the table then there r 2 methods one is to drop the table and upload the new one. but its along process.
here by using table compression we can update the particular data that has been modified. that is scd1
scd2:- by using key generation we r going to generate the new rownum column if there r any update the next row will be updated one and row numbers will be increamented automatically by 1
scd3:- i this one a extra column is added and updated infromation is stored in that column. if again table is update another column is added to it again...
in this one scd2 is mostly used..
10. Explain what is aggregate table and aggregate fact table ... any examples of both?
Aggregate table contains summarized data. The materialized view are aggregated tables.
for ex in sales we have only date transaction. if we want to create a report like sales by product per year. in such cases we aggregate the date?vales into week_agg, month_agg, quarter_agg, year_agg. to retrive date from this tables we use @aggrtegate function.
aggregate table is one of the data transaction function and some time it is create a protect per year.this aggregate value is week agg ,month agg quarter agg function
