Summary

Congratulations!

In this chapter, you discovered and applied more advanced patterns to improve the quality of your projects and experimented with how to evolve your code through refactoring.

You also learned how to save the history of changes of your entities, how to detect deletion from a source, how to better handle the orphans of your facts using self-completing dimensions, and how to use window functions to leverage the data stored in the HIST tables to analyze data evolution over time.

In the next chapter, Patterns for Common Use Cases, you will find a small library of common use patterns for ingesting data in Snowflake to extend the range of history tables, as well as a few more specialized patterns.
