In our continuing series, our CEO, Michael Olschimke, delves into a thought-provoking question raised by an audience member regarding Point-In-Time (PIT) tables:
“I’m trying to grasp why the majority of Point-In-Time (PIT) table illustrations do not incorporate tracking satellites to accurately reconstruct the timeline for a business key. For example, I have three snapshots for business key 001 stored in satellite1. This seems inaccurate as the record was deleted from the source. Why does this prevail?”
Michael engages in a detailed discussion on the concepts of Point-In-Time (PIT) and Effectivity Satellites, shedding light on the importance of incorporating tracking satellites for maintaining data integrity and timeline accuracy in data warehousing practices.
