## About this lesson

In this lab, we explore Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCDs) and design Cumulative Tables using the `nba_players` dataset. This is our first stress test of our web-based interface linked to a Presto/Trino database running in Starburst. Presto (formerly PrestoSQL) or Trino are both query engines that allow users to query and analyze data in a data lake using SQL, while Starburst offers a distribution of Presto/Trino.
