Scalefree Knowledge Webinars Data Vault Friday Point in Time vs. Record Source Tracking in Data Vault

Watch the Video

In the latest installment of our informative Data Vault Friday series, our CEO, Michael Olschimke, takes on a thought-provoking question posed by a member of our engaged audience.

“How are record source tracking satellites used in a Data Vault, and if it is not used in a project, then how can PIT tables come into play in tracking the customers or business keys? And if we are taking the PITs for tracking the keys, does this mean we should take the daily snapshots of the data?”

Michael intricately unpacks the nuances of utilizing record source tracking satellites within the context of Data Vault methodology. He provides valuable insights into the role of PIT (Point-in-Time) tables in effectively tracking customers or business keys, shedding light on their significance in scenarios where record source tracking satellites might not be employed.

Delving deeper into the intricacies, Michael elucidates whether the use of PIT tables necessitates the capture of daily snapshots of the data, offering a comprehensive perspective for data professionals seeking clarity on these vital aspects of data modeling.
