Hi Davide,

I just recently watched your session on DVD. It really is helpful. I have a question in regards to the logic in deriving the DateRangeKey.

You've mentioned in the session that if we have "valid_from" and "valid_to" dates of "2009-01-01" to "2009-02-03" the DateRangeKey value for this instance is "200901010203" (slide 33 doesn't show the DateRangeKey). My question is how do we implement the DateRangeKey for end of year validity and/or breakdown such as row 7 on the record set of Slide 33, where we have "2009-12-01" and "2010-01-01". Any advice?

I've also used "2999-12-31" as future date or unknown, e.g. valid_to and valid_from of "2012-03-06" to "2999-12-31" with DateRangeKey "201203069999". I'm not sure if there is any drawback of using non valid "MMDD" values as the last 4 digits of the DateRangeKey.

Thanks in advance.

Julie
