Data warehousing is one of the most important topics in the database industry. The primary objective of a data warehouse is providing users with easy access to business information - even if it comes from different platforms, databases, and locations.
The title might be misleading for some. It's not a quick-fix book, but as Imnon states in the forward, but "is the definitive source for understanding modern data architecture". It is so full of information it can't be read quickly, but is well worth taking the time to read. It probably helps to have read Brackett's 1994, Data Sharing - Using a Common Data Architecture. I've recommended this book to co-workers again and again. Get this book!
