Book Description

An accessible, hands-on guide to designing, constructing, and implementing data marts, this book takes you step by step through each phase of the data mart development process and provides a comprehensive introduction to this cost-effective approach to organizing and accessing critical business data.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Very tedious reading.......1999-09-09

The author has some good ideas about data warehousing - especially interviews to gather end user requirements. Unfortunately, this book is written in such a casual, conversational, and, frankly, sloppy style that shortly into the book, reading it becomes practically unbearable. I have found that other technical books from the publisher of this book are well edited. It seems, though, the editors were MIA for this one.

1 out of 5 stars Phew !!!! What a waste of time and money.......1999-06-03

I cannot believe the lack of depth. What could have been written in 100 words, the author has dragged on and on.

3 out of 5 stars Well laid out.......1999-04-21

This book gives the reader the ability to read any chapter as a stand alone entity making it possible to make sense of any chapter without having to read the book from cover to cover. Good book.

1 out of 5 stars Rather dry and lacking any technical details.......1998-01-29

Look for a book which focuses on particular tools, rather than a general book like this. This was a waste of time.

2 out of 5 stars Not for db professionals.......1998-01-27

An easy to read book for a senior manager, but is extremely repetitive. The book has a few good ideas but could be written more clearly in a shorter 100 page volume. If you need technical details look elsewhere.
