At BlueStar Publications, a table for shipping regions is modified often. They want to examine older configurations in their reports after subsequent updates are recorded. Which design approach supports that need?
Rely on a single definition that reflects ongoing changes
Separate region definitions into additional dimension tables
Revise existing entries when shipping regions are updated
Maintain distinct entries for each configuration change
Having a distinct record for each change allows older states to remain accessible, ensuring historical configurations are not lost. Revising existing entries would remove earlier information, relying on a single definition limits historical analysis, and creating multiple dimension tables quickly becomes unwieldy without preserving each version in a single structure.
