Book Description
More than sixty percent of Oracle8i's new features affect data warehousing - how users store, gather and leverage the information contained in their database systems. Oracle's data warehousing is going mainstream spurred by the increasing need to harvest information to provide strategic direction and growth for e-business. Many corporations consider data warehousing essential -from spreadsheet/financial data to high-level strategic data. Oracle8 Data Warehousing provides data warehousers with the means to collect, analyze and act on information contained on their database system.

Book Description
Cutting-edge Oracle data warehousing from people creating the software. Oracle8i Data Warehousing explains how to design, develop, and administer powerful data warehouses and data marts on Windows NT using Oracle's major new industry-leading database. This authoritative guide helps database developers, administrators, and designers master the major new data warehousing and Internet capabilities in Oracle8i and specifically plan and implement affordable and successful data warehouses and data marts. In one exciting package, this book brings together three hot computing topics: new Oracle databases, Windows NT, and Internet technologies. Data warehouses and smaller data marts allow companies to pool and analyze large quantities of data, yielding valuable information about customers and business processes. Data warehouses have in the past been expensive and very complex. Oracle8i is an important new version of Oracle Corporation's market-leading database system. Most of the significant new features in Oracle8i are for data warehousing, Internet development, or optimizations for the Windows NT platform. Oracle8i and Windows NT together will make data warehouse projects easier and more affordable. Written by data design and warehousing experts from the Oracle8i development team Explains how to design and build data warehouses and data marts on Windows NT Explains how to establish Web/Intranet access to a data warehouse

Book Description
“This book should satisfy those who want a different perspective than the official Oracle documentation. It will cover all important aspects of a data warehouse while giving the necessary examples to make the reading a lively experience. - Tim Donar, Author and Systems Architect for Enterprise Data Warehouses Tuning a data warehouse database focuses on large transactions, mostly requiring what is known as throughput. Throughput is the passing of large amounts of information through a server, network and Internet environment, backwards and forwards, constantly! The ultimate objective of a data warehouse is the production of meaningful and useful reporting, from historical and archived data. The trick is to make the reports print within an acceptable time frame. A data model contains tables and relationships between tables. Tuning a data model involves Normalization and Denormalization. Different approaches are required depending on the application, such as OLTP or a Data Warehouse. Inappropriate database design can make SQL code impossible to tune. Poor data modeling can have a most profound effect on database performance since all SQL code is constructed from the data model. * Takes users beyond basics to critical issues in running most efficient data warehouse applications * Illustrates how to keep data going in and out in the most productive way possible * Focus is placed on Data Warehouse performance tuning

Book Description
Agile Data Warehouse Design is a step-by-step guide for capturing data warehousing/business intelligence (DW/BI) requirements and turning them into high performance dimensional models in the most direct way: by modelstorming (data modeling + brainstorming) with BI stakeholders. This book describes BEAM✲, an agile approach to dimensional modeling, for improving communication between data warehouse designers, BI stakeholders and the whole DW/BI development team. BEAM✲ provides tools and techniques that will encourage DW/BI designers and developers to move away from their keyboards and entity relationship based tools and model interactively with their colleagues. The result is everyone thinks dimensionally from the outset! Developers understand how to efficiently implement dimensional modeling solutions. Business stakeholders feel ownership of the data warehouse they have created, and can already imagine how they will use it to answer their business questions. Within this book, you will learn: ✲ Agile dimensional modeling using Business Event Analysis & Modeling (BEAM✲) ✲ Modelstorming: data modeling that is quicker, more inclusive, more productive, and frankly more fun! ✲ Telling dimensional data stories using the 7Ws (who, what, when, where, how many, why and how) ✲ Modeling by example not abstraction; using data story themes, not crow's feet, to describe detail ✲ Storyboarding the data warehouse to discover conformed dimensions and plan iterative development ✲ Visual modeling: sketching timelines, charts and grids to model complex process measurement - simply ✲ Agile design documentation: enhancing star schemas with BEAM✲ dimensional shorthand notation ✲ Solving difficult DW/BI performance and usability problems with proven dimensional design patterns Lawrence Corr is a data warehouse designer and educator. As Principal of DecisionOne Consulting, he helps clients to review and simplify their data warehouse designs, and advises vendors on visual data modeling techniques. He regularly teaches agile dimensional modeling courses worldwide and has taught dimensional DW/BI skills to thousands of students. Jim Stagnitto is a data warehouse and master data management architect specializing in the healthcare, financial services, and information service industries. He is the founder of the data warehousing and data mining consulting firm Llumino.
