The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit: Practical Techniques for Building Datawarehouse and Business Intelligence Systems, 2ed

good as per expected

This book is really awesome. It gives detailed understanding of the DataWarehousing concepts needed to have a descent career in this sream.Highly recommended!Regards,Manish.

The book was delivered in time but quality of book is not correct.Some pages are torn and come off as soon as you turn them.

I have had this book for a while now, dipping in to useful parts now and again without having had the time to read it from cover to cover.However, recently I have been able to read it from start to finish and I wish I had done so sooner.The book covers the 'how to' of data warehousing, but the thing that makes the book excellent is that it places this information in the context of the lifecycle of typical data warehouse projects.The book is long... very long. But everyone on data warehousing projects should read this book, if only to encourage a common mindset. The examples and templates are also very useful.

The first thing to remember os that Kimball does not have the ONLY way of building data warehouses. In fact I have a personal preference for the Inmon style of construction. Nonetheless Kimball is a super way of building highly effective datamarts and warehouses. This book is excellent at doing what it claims to do. It really dfoes give one tools and techniques that can be applied in real life. When used with the right design tools this book is a bit of a godsend. I would definately buy it again as even with 15 years data warehouse experience there are still a few nuggets in here for me.

An excellent methodology! As a relational database developer, it was extremely helpful. I impressed my employer by presenting many fo the book's idea and used to information to create data models for a proposal.

Couldn't find my copy and loathed to pay full price for another. This was a bargain so very happy with it.
