Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

In The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit, authors Ralph Kimball, Laura Reeves, Margy Ross and Warren Thornthwaite present a structure for undertaking the mammoth task of implementing a data warehouse. As part of a rather select group of professionals actually experienced in building data warehouses, the authors attempt to convey their expertise about how to approach the job. The book focuses on the "Star Lifecycle"--a high-level, project-planning approach to evolving existing information systems into an ever-changing data-warehouse solution. --Stephen Plain, Amazon.com

Robert S. Craig, Vice President, Application Architectures, Hurwitz Group, Inc.

A comprehensive, thoughtful, and detailed book that will be of inestimable value to anyone struggling with the complex details of designing, building, and maintaining an enterprise-wide decision support system. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on data warehousing, 26 Aug 2003

By	R. Back (Bath, BANES United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this book for a while now, dipping in to useful parts now and again without having had the time to read it from cover to cover.
However, recently I have been able to read it from start to finish and I wish I had done so sooner.

The book covers the 'how to' of data warehousing, but the thing that makes the book excellent is that it places this information in the context of the lifecycle of typical data warehouse projects.

The book is long... very long. But everyone on data warehousing projects should read this book, if only to encourage a common mindset. The examples and templates are also very useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars The must have book for anybody involved in data warehousing, 6 Jan 2001

By A Customer

If you don't have this book, and you are involved in any way with a data warehouse project, buy it now and read it from cover to cover.

This is the best book on data warehousing ever written.

The book contains everything you need to know to build a data warehouse, from project management thru to support and implementation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but too management-like, not technical enough, 16 Feb 2007

By	MCG (Bracknell, England) - See all my reviews

This is quite a good book but it is too management-like for me.
It covers the whole data-warehouse process including business requirement gathering and project management.
If you want a more technically orrientated book that covers the all important modelling aspects, Kimballs other book "The data warehoue toolkit - the complete guide to dimensional modelling" is much much better.
I can't help thinking that Kimball et al wrote this book after that modelling one in an attempt to cash in on the sucess of the modelling book.
In summary, if you're a technician buy the modelling book - if you're a manager who wants an overview, buy this one.
