Answers

Update the effective end date of rows when the non-key attribute values have changed.
D.
Insert new records when the natural key is a new value in the table.
Answers
D.
Insert new records when the natural key is a new value in the table.
Suggested answer: A, D

Explanation:

For a Type 1 SCD, you should include actions that update rows when non-key attributes have changed (A), and insert new records when the natural key is a new value in the table (D). A Type 1 SCD does not track historical data, so you always overwrite the old data with the new data for a given key. Reference = Details on Type 1 slowly changing dimension patterns can be found in data warehousing literature and Microsoft's official documentation.
