Surrogate key in Warehouse

Hello everyone,

I’m currently exploring the best methods to create, maintain, and utilize surrogate keys within a fabric warehouse. I understand that surrogate keys can play a crucial role in ensuring data integrity and performance in database management.

Could you share your experiences or strategies on creating, maintaining and use of surrogate keys?

Creating surrogate keys - What approaches do you find most effective for generating unique and consistent surrogate keys?
Maintaining surrogate keys - How do you ensure the surrogate keys remain reliable and do not lead to data anomalies over time?
Utilizing surrogate keys - In what ways do you leverage surrogate keys to enhance data retrieval and reporting within your warehouse management ?

Any insights on tools, techniques, or best practices would be greatly appreciated, especially those that have proven effective in a fabric warehouse setting.

Thank you in advance for your valuable input!
