5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent BI Book 5 Feb 2010

By D. F. Poleon

Format:Paperback

I don't often review books but this book is by far the best business intelligence resource that I have purchased so far. It covers the full cycle of a BI project from design to delivery, I found it relatively easy to understand (The topic itself has its own challenges!) and the examples are useful, I did find one or two typo errors relating to the examples but I still managed to get them to work.

There is a good chapter on "Change Data Capture" which is not often covered in other BI offerings.

I would recommend this book to others.

By Razia

Format:Paperback

A simple, straightforward and intelligible book on business intelligence (I just love the books which are not verbose and free of unwanted complexity). Highly recommended to everyone who understands the very basic of database development and SQL server....
