How should you model the employee data?

You need to design an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool that meets the following requirements:

✑ Can return an employee record from a given point in time.

✑ Maintains the latest employee information.

✑ Minimizes query complexity.

How should you model the employee data?
A . as a temporal table
B. as a SQL graph table
C. as a degenerate dimension table
D. as a Type 2 slowly changing dimension (SCD) table

Answer: D

Explanation:

A Type 2 SCD supports versioning of dimension members. Often the source system doesn’t store versions, so the data warehouse load process detects and manages changes in a dimension table. In this case, the dimension table must use a surrogate key to provide a unique reference to a version of the dimension member. It also includes columns that define the date range validity of the version (for example, StartDate and EndDate) and possibly a flag column (for example, IsCurrent) to easily filter by current dimension members.
