Product Description
Product Description
Before SQL programmers could begin working with OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing) systems, they had to unlearn procedural, record-oriented programming before moving on to SQL's declarative, set-oriented programming. This book covers the next step in your growth. OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing), Data Warehousing and Analytics involve seeing data in the aggregate and over time, not as single transactions. Once more it is time to unlearn what you were previously taught. This book is not an in-depth look at particular subjects, but an overview of many subjects that will give the working RDBMS programmers a map of the terra incognita they will face - if they want to grow. It features expert advice from a noted SQL authority and award-winning columnist, who has given ten years of service to the ANSI SQL standards committee and many more years of dependable help to readers of online forums. This is the first book that teaches what SQL programmers need in order to successfully make the transition from transactional systems (OLTP) into the world of data warehouse data and OLAP. It offers real-world insights and lots of practical examples. It covers the OLAP extensions in SQL-99; ETL tools, OLAP features supported in DBMSs, other query tools, simple reports, and statistical software.

A great book. In fact I still have many pages "bookmarked" for easy access. However, I found it made me ask more questions than it answered (and that's a good thing) so I had to go off and research more.
Well worth the money, as I think most of Celko's books are.

Stick to SQL for Smarties
5 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
There's very little useful information in here beyond what you'll find in Celko's SQL for Smarties book, which is a good reference, albeit full of errors. What's especially disappointing to me is that several sections from that book were moved into this new volume, but only lightly edited, if at all, thereby perpetuating many typos and technical errors from several editions ago. Technical books really need better editing if they're going to be good teaching tools, otherwise they just wind up misleading and frustrating the reader. In this case, I feel like I bought a bunch of outtakes and remixes from an artist whose recording contract demanded additional albums when only the first was truly inspired.

Great Read
20 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback
I found this gem in the usual aisles at my favorite bookstore among other technical books. Yet, this is a book on SQL, OLAP, Warehouse and metrics that is great because "he cuts to the chase". So many technical books have way too much information and boring paragraphs with little real world examples or insights or lessons learned.
If you enjoy databases and data analysis, this book is great. I'm going to check out other books by this author because I think he is on to something in providing information and insights to technical domains.
Great job!

As he always does, Joe Celko gets right to the point in this amazing review of all one needs to know about OLAP databases and SQL development. I'm already passing this copy to my entire development team. Great work and no BS.
Thanks to Joe Celko
