In one of my previous blog articles called ´´Deduplication using Analytic Function´´, I explained a simple introduction of Oracle Analytic Functions. In this article (addressed for SQL developers), I will focus on the LAG function which from my point of view, is one of the most useful functions. Let’s see the use of this function in a common Data Warehouse scenario: Slowly Changing Dimension.  
When implementing an ETL, one of the most common tasks is the deduplication of rows. If you need to implement this in PL/SQL, one method could be with correlated subqueries. However, in this article we will take the approach sometimes forgotten by developers, which is using Analytic Functions. The main objective of this article is to compare the two different ways to realize the deduplication.
