Generating Surrogate-Keys for Type 1 and Type 2 dimensions using SSIS

We published a very interesting article about data warehousing in the SQL Server Standard awhile back. However the article was abridged and the author, a very respected data warehousing professional asked that we publish the entire thing here. So we bring you Harsh Bhaiya's very popular ETL treatise.

Question of the Day

Restoring On Top I

I am doing development work on a database and want to keep a backup so I can reset my database. I make some changes and want to restore over top of my changes. When I run this code, what happens?

USE Master
BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'
GO

USE DNRTest
GO
CREATE TABLE MyTest(myid INT)
GO
USE master
RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
