**HINT:** search type 1 vs type 2 slowly changing dimensions.

```
Your answer...
#### Prompt 3
The store wants to keep customer addresses. Propose two architectures for the CUSTOMER_ADDRESS table, one that will retain changes, and another that will overwrite. Which is type 1, which is type 2?

**Answer:**

### Architecture 1: Overwrite Existing Address (Type 1 Slowly Changing Dimension)
In this model, the CUSTOMER_ADDRESS table stores only the customer’s current address.

Suggested columns:
- customer_address_id
- customer_id
- street_address
- city
- province
- postal_code
- country

When a customer updates their address, the existing record is updated using an UPDATE statement. The previous address is overwritten and not retained.

This is a **Type 1 Slowly Changing Dimension** because historical address data is not preserved.


### Architecture 2: Retain Address History (Type 2 Slowly Changing Dimension)
In this model, the CUSTOMER_ADDRESS table stores both current and historical addresses.

Suggested columns:
- customer_address_id
- customer_id
- street_address
- city
- province
- postal_code
- country
- effective_start_date
- effective_end_date
- is_current

When a customer changes address:
1. The previous record is marked with an effective_end_date.
2. A new row is inserted with the updated address and marked as current.

This preserves address history over time.

This is a **Type 2 Slowly Changing Dimension** because historical changes are retained.
