Excellent starting point in data warehousing
What a number of previous reviewers did not realise is that this book is about data warehouses, and not enterprise architecture, even though it is named to seem that way. This book is an excellent high level overview of data warehouses and should be read by anyone who is going to be building a data warehouse from scratch or needs a starting place to learn about data warehouses. It explains ...

ODS demystified
The ODS is probably one of the least understood and most confusing concepts within the Corporate Information Factory. Most likely because it is, by definition, a compromise, in both purpose and design, between operational and decision support systems. Although Inmon generally does not write with the clarity of Kimball, after reading this book most confusion about the ODS should be eliminated. ...

DW reloaded??
First of all, this book is not written with the DW novice in mind. Some of the chapters require a thorough understanding of DW theory and concepts. Generally I found the book useful and I got some ideas that I will apply in one of my next projects. The biggest weakness of DW 2.0 is its lack in detail. In a lot of areas I found the book to be patchy and too high level. In my opinion DW 2.0 as ...

For when you wonder, how should I model that....
This book provides excellent starting points for modeling basic business functions. I have found when modeling that it helps to ask another DBA's opinion on how they would aproach the same business process or data segment. This book serves as that second person. It provides proven models that can be effective for your own modeling activities. It is well worth the investment and then some.

Data Warehouse Performance

John Wiley & Sons, 1998

A dissapointing hodgepodge of material
I purchased this book expecting that it would present a coherent methodology for initially sizing a data warehouse and for planning for subsequent growth. What I got out of reading this book is some scattered ideas about data warehouse performance, which though many are sound, needed to be put into some overall context. The authors attempt to put some of their thoughts together in a case study ...
