    Postgres SCD1 and SCD2 strategy comparison

    In this experimentation, we will demonstrate that using one CTE which differentiate both update and insert improve significantly the merge processus for both SCD1 and SCD2

    Experiment tables

    drop table if exists target;
    drop table if exists tmp;
    create table target(id int, cd text, hash int, end_datetime timestamp);
    create table tmp(id int, cd text, hash int);
    -- TARGET
    insert into target(id,cd,hash) SELECT g.* as id, 'jim' as cd, g.* as hash FROM generate_series(1,10000000) g;
    
    -- TMP
    insert into tmp(id,cd,hash) SELECT g.* as id, 'jim' as cd, g.* as hash FROM generate_series(4000000,5000000) g;
