What are the types of lookup caches?What is Dynamic lookup Transformation? when we use?

Static, Dynamic, Persistent, Re-cache. 

Dynamic lookup updates cache before writes data into the target, first it will update cache then only it updates target table. Generally we are using it in SCD's.

Informatica Important Questions?

What are the differences between Connected and Unconnected Lookup?
The differences are illustrated in the below table
Connected Lookup
Unconnected Lookup
Connected lookup participates in dataflow and receives input directly from the pipeline
Unconnected lookup receives input values from the result of a LKP: expression in another transformation
Connected lookup can use both dynamic and static cache
Unconnected Lookup cache can NOT be dynamic
Connected lookup can return more than one column value ( output port )
Unconnected Lookup can return only one column value i.e. output port
Connected lookup caches all lookup columns
Unconnected lookup caches only the lookup output ports in the lookup conditions and the return port
Supports user-defined default values (i.e. value to return when lookup conditions are not satisfied)
Does not support user defined default values
