Today, most data warehouses already store any kind of history of data. But what’s about events that took place at a different time than what the data warehouse represents to us? Or data that will be valid in the future? For example, future planned prices for products and goods or special prices for discount battles or sales promotions like the “Black Friday” in the United States.

What will I learn?

Dirk Lerner, the teacher of Temporal data in a fast-changing world! will focus in this class on methods and techniques for storing bitemporal data in a Data Warehouse and afterwards merging timelines of bitemporal data, e.g. Data Vault Satellites, to get data out of the Data Warehouse’s core layer. He will show bitemporal basics for a better understanding of loading data as well as the concepts to develop SQL queries to insert and update temporal data within a Data Warehouse. Finally, concepts to provide Star Schema Dimensions as non-, uni- or bitemporal objects will be shown.

Day 1

At the first day of the Temporal data in a fast-changing world! training the attendees will understand the basic temporal concepts. They will practice to model uni- and bitemporal database objects with Data Vault and how to load bitemporal data into a Data Warehouse.

Day 2

The second day of the Temporal data in a fast-changing world! training will focus on how to get data out of the Data Warehouse. How to merge timelines of Data Vault objects and provide temporal data within a Star Schema. The attendees will understand the concepts by doing a lot of practical exercises.

On both days real world examples will be shown and attendees will do several exercises and SQL-tutorials.

What is included?

Arrival, departure and overnight stay are not included in the training.
