Jeremy will discuss the strengths and disadvantages of a row-versioned data warehouse design in the context of a real world case study, sharing lessons learnt and demonstrating some of the technologies and techniques used to build a row-versioned data warehouse. He will discuss row-versioning in the context of Kimball slowly-changing dimensions, and will also provide some details on the relative strengths of row-versioning as applied to measure information in situations where such data cannot be considered finalized at the time it is loaded into the warehouse.
