The Dodge and Gorman book is much, much better than this one. Also - buy a copy of Ralph Kimballs Data Warehouse Toolkit - its applies to DW and DM's. Another good book is Kimball's Data Warehouse Lifecycle book, but the Toolkit book is more concise.
Format:Paperback
I found it to have a good explanation of general data warehousing terms and concepts, but not enought depht in terms of planning and designing for a data warehouse. I wouldn't recommend buying it.

Buy the Dodge/Gorman Book Instead!

Format:Paperback
The Dodge and Gorman book is much, much better than this one. Also - buy a copy of Ralph Kimballs Data Warehouse Toolkit - its applies to DW and DM's. Another good book is Kimball's Data Warehouse Lifecycle book, but the Toolkit book is more concise.

Draft Working Book- Oracle DataWarehousing
30 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
Aimed at all levels of users, administrators and architects, "Oracle Data Warehousing" offers basics, project management, and technical tutorials.
The lightly referenced, verbose, chapters span: what is a data warehouse; things to consider; building the team; managing the data warehouse project; moving the data into the warehouse; Oracle's data warehousing features; data mining; datamarts; metadata; RAID; keeping your data safe; Oracle Express & OLAP Solutions; data mining tools; datamart tools; index and tuning issues.
Strengths revolve around the attractive use of heading, lists, charts, screen-shots, and code examples, and the topical relevance to business of data warehousing.
Weaknesses include: the 45% excess words for content, typos; simplistic business examples; a seeming Oracle advert focus; need for business success anecdotes; a need for more science/ rigor about machine learning and artificial intelligence; and a need for more about wider industry trends/tools.
Overall this needed better editing, more business content, and more rigor to be considered worthwhile.
