Handling Slowly Changing Dimensions With Azure Synapse Analytics Pipelines

In this course, we'll explain the concept of slowly changing dimensions and the different approaches to dealing with them. Then we'll show you how to create a data flow in Azure Synapse Pipelines to update slowly changing dimensions. Even if you're not particularly interested in how to handle slowly changing dimensions, the demos in this course will give you a good idea of how to create data flows in either Azure Synapse Pipelines or Azure Data Factory since they both use the same interface.
