Every key used to join the fact table with a dimensional table should be a surrogate key.

  • A.True
  • B.False

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

A surrogate key is a meaningless integer generated for the warehouse, and using one insulates the schema from the operational keys, which may be reused, may change format, or may collide between source systems. It also makes possible the slowly changing dimension, where several rows describe the same real entity at different times.
