Data Warehouse Design (Hardcover)

Most data warehouse projects fail -- and the #1 cause is a failure to implement the right data models. In this book, leading data warehouse expert William Giovanazzo details a proven software engineering methodology and world-class techniques for data modeling in any decision support environment. Unlike other books, Object-Oriented Data Warehouse Design: Building a Star Schema recognizes that "one size doesn't fit all" in data warehouse design -- and introduces a methodology that can easily be applied to any organization's realities. Readers will develop a star schema data model from start to finish, addressing key issues such as granularity and precision; dimensions; hierarchies, and sizing. Every step is introduced with theory and supported with a live case study example. The book includes methodology checklists, chapter review questions, glossaries, bibliographies, and more. For data warehouse designers and developers, and for DBAs and system engineers in companies developing a data warehouse.

Design your data warehouse correctly from the start!

It is well-documented that most data warehouse projects fail. The #1 reason: poor data models or the failure of warehouse designers to apply a sound design methodology. Too many warehouses, and too many books, treat building the warehouse from a template approach. Don't fall into that trap!

Object-Oriented Data Warehouse Design: Building a Star Schema delivers data modeling methodologies that are proven to work. In data warehouse design, one size definitely doesn't fit all! So,

• Build a complete star schema data model -- from initial analysis through implementation
• Make better decisions about granularity and precision
• Master dimensioning, hierarchies, sizing, and more

With Object-Oriented Data Warehouse Design: Building a Star Schema, you will design your data warehouse for maximum business value-the first time.

"I highly recommend the book for its clarity and practicality. Bill has taken a complex subject and brought it down to the level of readability and comprehension." —Bill Inmon
