Customer Reviews

Exactly what I wanted

When I purchased this book it was with the intent of learning what a data warehouse is and how best to implement one from a conceptual level. It has accomplished that goal admirably. If you are a seasoned SQL person and want to know what the DW buzz is about, buy it. If you are an IS executive trying to make a decision on how best to proceed with your own warehouse, but it. However, if you are looking for a How-To guide for on the serious implementation details (ie: DTS), you should go over the fundamentals of SQL 7 somewhere else.

Very informative and helpful

I found the book very informative and helpful. Specifically, the chapters on OLAP and Data Warehouse design were very beneficial. This book is an excellent resource for both IT staff and management when implementing Decision Support Systems on Sql Server 7.
