etl - Which is the best approach for a dimension (SCD-2 or a SCD-1 + a whole new dimension) -


let´s have following situation:

a dimension product attributes aren't volatile (description , diameter - can changed scd-1 change correction) , attribute can volatile (selling group, can change on time same product).

so, when change occurs in these volatile attributes of 1 product, need somehow track them.

i have come these 2 approaches:

for both: keep using scd-1 non-volatile attributes.

approach #1: use scd-2 in product_dim volatile attributes.

enter image description here

approach #2: make selling group whole new dimension , every sell track current value in moment of etl. no need scd-2 here.

enter image description here

i new in data warehousing , i'm trying understand better , why. 1 of aims use olap software read of stuff.

it comes business needs of model. don't know business enough question, rule of thumb if wanna analysis selling group (i.e: total quantity of products sold selling group x) should create separate dimension. in case approach#2 correct. considering general concepts , assuming selling group kind of group of products, doesn't make sense having attribute of product.

if want learn more dimensional modelling i'd suggest looking ralph kimball's work if haven't done yet. excellent resource book the data warehouse toolkit covers question , many more techniques. it's nice tool have on desk when questions pop up. of experienced data modellers have copy of consult every , then.

angular - Is it possible to get native element for formControl? -

i've got angular2 reactive form . created formcontrol s , assigned input fields by [formcontrol]=... . understand creates nativeelement <-> formcontrol link. my question: possible nativeelement formcontrol ? wanna myformcontrol.nativeelement.focus() i can share 1 terrible solution works me. in reactive forms can use either 1) formcontroldirective ts mycontrol = new formcontrol('') template <input type="text" [formcontrol]="mycontrol"> or 2) formcontrolname ts myform: formgroup; constructor(private fb: formbuilder) {} ngoninit() { this.myform = this.fb.group({ foo: '' }); } template <form [formgroup]="myform"> <input type="text" formcontrolname="foo"> </form> so these directives write patch like 1) formcontroldirective const originformcontrolngonchanges = formcontroldirective.prototype.ngonchanges; formcontroldirective.proto

unity3d - Rotate an object to face an opposite direction -

i have object , b. when click on object b, rotates object b (a faces b). b doesn't face a. need following : when faces b, need face opposite direction. have code rotating @ b. how rotate face opposite direction after that? vector3 targetdirection = target - transform.position; float step = speed * time.deltatime; vector3 newdirection = vector3.rotatetowards (turretdome.transform.forward, targetdirection, step, 0.0f); turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (newdirection); you object facing object b, want inverse direction of object after that? objecta.transform.rotation = quaternion.inverse(objecta.transform.rotation) but lets assume example turretdome object a, (negate direction): turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (-newdirection); naturally, both of these snippets not show how smoothen rotation, seem know how use time.deltatime. just incase unsure, quaternion.lerp this
