About this title

Synopsis

Providing practical technical information and development guidelines for building a data warehouse for decision support processing, this text presents end-to-end coverage of planning, building, and implementing a data warehouse--including modeling and design; mapping, moving, and extracting data; front-end data access tools, querying, and planning for change.

Review

This is a great book on Data Warehousing for project managers, database designers and administrators, programmers, analysts, and systems and data architects. Beginning with the basics, it covers:

• The difference between operational and analytical processing;
• Architecture and infrastructure for the data warehouse, and examples of real-world implementations within corporations; and
• The "Decision Support Life Cycle" -- from gathering requirements, modeling the data, and designing the database, to application development, implementation, and staff training.
