You need to implement a Type 3 slowly changing dimension (SCD) for product category data in an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool.
You have a table that was created by using the following Transact-SQL statement.

Which two columns should you add to the table? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: BE
A Type 3 SCD supports storing two versions of a dimension member as separate columns. The table includes a column for the current value of a member plus either the original or previous value of the member. So Type 3 uses additional columns to track one key instance of history, rather than storing additional rows to track each change like in a Type 2 SCD.
This type of tracking may be used for one or two columns in a dimension table. It is not common to use it for many members of the same table. It is often used in combination with Type 1 or Type 2 members.

Both BE and CE can be correct solutions. However, you should choose the one that is most descriptive to any business user who is consuming this data. So, describing each column as "Current" or "Original" is the better design.

I agree with you; however, in the table's design, there's already a column called [RowInsertedDateTime], which implies that it is tracking the insertion of the ProductCategory values. So, it would make no sense for one of the answers to be Option B. Therefore, I believe the correct answers are C and E.

Correct but SCD is always type 2. Type 3 is not SCD.
