With The Data Warehouse Method, enterprises can transcend yesterday's haphazard approaches to data warehousing-and achieve unprecedented strategic gains. Leading consultant Tom Debevoise synthesizes the entire field's experience into a comprehensive methodology that delivers consistency, value, and above all, quality.
Avoiding generalities, Debevoise demonstrates enterprise-class techniques in the context of 64-bit multiprocessing UNIX servers, the Oracle 8 OORDBMS, and the Business Objects Managed Query Environment. Whether you choose identical technologies or not, the resulting methodology is refreshingly specific and practical. Coverage includes:
- Strategy, analysis, design, deployment, and discovery
- Establishing and leveraging an integrated data warehouse support environment
- Use cases, object data modeling, and multidimensional analysis with UML
- Prototyping, converting logical models into physical data structures, and testing
- .Cognitive systems administration and performance management techniques
- .Why database independence and denormalization no longer make sense
The Data Warehouse Method presents the quality data warehouse from every key perspective: the business, the user, the architect, and the administrator. It previews the evolution of data warehouses into business knowledge repositories that integrate the entire enterprise. Best of all, it offers a path you can follow today to achieve maximum results with maximum efficiency.
CD-ROM INCLUDED
The accompanying CD-ROM contains data warehousing schematics, code, and movable objects that demonstrate exactly how to construct and customize and enterprise aggregate management strategy that massively improves the environment's performance.

A concise methodology on development and implementation.
22 Jan 1999
Format:Hardcover
Of all the data warehouse books I have read, most have been lame, others have been too "ivory tower", this one falls where System Architects need it the most. There are defined techniques that will get your project off the ground, with the ability to follow it through to implementation.
In addition, being a "code grabber" the CD in the book gives code that is usable in the real world.

Not For ME!
1 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
Sorry folks -- this book just didn't work for me. I'm pretty technically savvy (BSEE, MCSD), but I just couldn't get much out of this tome. The language is stunningly obscure to me (read the authors' notes above, then imagine if they got "scholarly"), and the meat just wasn't there for me and my little three-person warehousing project. Adding to the difficulty -- there must be at least one typo per paragraph, which I find extremely distracting. This is the only book I've ever sent back.
