4.0 out of 5 stars I wanted a book with stronger OLAP Content., 30 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I order a steak not a hamburger! I immediately associated with the conceptual - high level portion - of the book which covered: building the data warehouse team, managing the data warehouse project, the data warehouse design (very important chapters outlining usage of the star schema), and implementation of the data mart. I found the first half of the book to make alot of sense. Having a Masters of Oracle DBA, I found the physical database chapters on (partitioning and tuning valuable). However, OLAP chapters seemed too sketchy. I would have preferred an in depth discussion of installing and running the Oracle Express Server (Multidimensional database) , integrating express objects with Visual Basic or Forms, and connecting Discoverer to the Multidimensional Database, as subject matter. I found the OLAP section discussing Oracle Discoverer to narrow. The chapters covering Oracle Discoverer administration significantly less through than the Oracle Tutorial Documentation. Here my questions to the author: What about building item hierarchies, creating cross-tables, or cross-table master detail reports, introduction to Discover filters, and security -> Oracle Book explaining Oracle Products. Bottom line, I think the author missed the boat by igoring the significance of multidimensional databases and how to interface with them using oracle products.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction on the subject. Covers all aspects., 15 Jul 1998
By A Customer
The book provides a good and almost impartial overview and introduction on the subject covering almost everything that has to be said about DataWarehousing. It is well organised, easy and fun to read. It definitely gave me a good understanding on a subject that I had no prior knownledge. I recommended it.

However I have a few comments which do not alter the value of the book : a) I would like to see a short introduction , no more that ten pages , which explains the subject and it's relation to the Oracle Tools. It took me quit a few pages of reading to discover it. b) I would like to see more details on the Star Schema since it is a central concept. Moreover I would like to see a few real life examples of models implementing the star schema. c) I would like to see more on the Oracle Express Solution and especially the Express Server (it's architecture etc.)and posibly a few examples.
