5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for any DW professional !, 25 Jul 2003
Dimensional modelling is the key to designing conformed dimension data warehouses.

This authoritative book covers dimensional modelling in great depth, but at the same time is very accessible. You will want it by your side to reference its examples of how to cope with various scenarios.

ps The companion volume, the DW Life Cycle Toolkit by Kimball & Ross, covers higher level aspects of data warehousing, and is just as good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kimball is the standard book to own on this subject, 27 Dec 2003
By A Customer
Excellent ground up introduction to dimensional modelling. If you think you need this book, then this is most certainly the book to get you started and take you well into the subject.

Ralph Kimball wrote the first edition of this book. This edition has been updated by another author and includes (for example sections on finance, health and education).

Will not disappoint. We used this book as a management communication vehicle (we gave them copies and that saved a LOT of repeated and dumb questions). Minor issue, - not enough mauve in the book.

Recommended if you want to get into marts, warehouses and a series of career opportunities. I also recommend the series (they look very similar to this cover).

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, 4 Dec 2006
I picked this up about 18 months ago as a primer, and it's still helping me today as I continue to develop new datawarehouse designs. Each time I have to do something for the first time, there's usually a chapter in the book for it. I feel a lot more comfortable having it on my desk!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book
I found this book extrememly useful. I do not come from a database background, I'm more of an analyst but the concepts were well explained and it all made sense.
