Reviews for Mastering Data Warehouse Aggregates: Solutions for Star Schema Performance
-
Useful, focused and clear
Rated out of 5 stars, December 12th, 2007
I must confess that I was skeptic before reading the book, because I thought that it could not add very much to Kimball's books. However, I was wrong: this turned out to be a very useful book. Not only it contains the most detailed explanation of DW aggregates available, but it also contains a very good discussion of the loading process for various types of dimensions and facts, which forms the bulk of data warehouse "back room processing".
One more final plus: the author completely adopts the Kimball approach to Data Warehousing, so this book fits very nicely with other books from Wiley's describing Kimball methodology.
A must have for all DW designers!
