I have a customer dimension talble ( 50 million rows) , and the customer data keep changing...
what is the best way to load this diemension table without losing the integrity of data?

I don;t want to load 50 million rows everytime .. and i want to keep the history of changes on customer's record...so a unique key can be represented for a single customer (for example ,even though a customer has changed her last name after got married)
do i have to use the slowly changing dimension type 2 for this? can you show me some examples? HOw can i implement this?
