Plan, Design, and Document High-Performance Data Warehouses

Set up a reliable, secure decision-support infrastructure using the cuttingedge techniques contained in this comprehensive volume. Data Warehouse Design: Modern Principles and Methodologies presents a practical design approach based on solid software engineering principles. Find out how to interview end users, construct expressive conceptual schemata and translate them into relational schemata, and design state-of-the-art ETL procedures. You will also learn how to integrate heterogeneous data sources, implement star and snowflake schemata, manage dynamic and irregular hierarchies, and fine-tune performance by materializing and fragmenting views.
