Implementing SCD TypeII Using Mload

The document discusses implementing slowly changing dimension (SCD) type II in Teradata using the Mload utility. The process involves two steps: 1) reading the source file and expiring existing rows by updating the end date where the primary key matches, and 2) inserting new and updated rows from the source into the target table. A sample Mload script is provided that uses the primary key to check for existing rows, updates the end date of matches, and inserts the source rows into the target table.

Implementing SCD TypeII using Mload
To implement SCD type II using Mload, we need to know the primary
key of the data. A comparison with primary key on source with the
corresponding target field will help us in understanding the data already
exist or not in the target. Now the entire method can be done in two
steps.

1) Read the source file and compare with the primary key. For those
data where a match is found, the corresponding rows will be expired by
setting the EFFECTIVE_END_DT to CURRENT_DATE - 1.
2) As a second step, insert all the rows from the source to target.

Sample Mload Script to Implement SCD Type II:

Note the EFFECTIVE_START_DT has a default value of
CURRENT_DATE and EFFECTIVE_END_DT has 9999-12-31 at
database level in the below example. As well Field1 is considered to be
the primary key at source.

.LOGTABLE <DBName>.LOG_<TableName>;
.LOGON <Logon Info>;

DATABASE <DBName>;
DROP TABLE WK_<TableName>;
DROP TABLE ET_<TableName>;
DROP TABLE UV_<TableName>;

.BEGIN IMPORT MLOAD TABLES <TableName>
WORKTABLES WK_<TableName>
ERRORTABLES ET_<TableName>
UV_<TableName>;

.LAYOUT FILEIN;
.FIELD Infield1 * CHAR(11);
.FIELD Infield2 * CHAR(11);
.FIELD Infield3 * CHAR(11);

.DML LABEL UPDATES;
UPDATE <DBName>.<TableName> SET
EFFECTIVE_END_DT = CURRENT_DATE - 1
WHERE INFIELD1 = :Infield1;

.DML LABEL INSERTS;
INSERT INTO <DBName>.<TableName>
(
INFIELD1,
INFIELD2,
INFIELD3,

VALUES

.IMPORT INFILE /data/Infile.txt

.IMPORT INFILE /data/Infile.txt

.END MLOAD;
