Summary

Beginning with the basics, this book covers the difference between operational and analytical processing; architecture and infrastructure for the data warehouse, and examples of how they are currently being implemented within corporations; and the Decision Support Life Cycle - from gathering requirements, modeling the data, and designing the database to application development, staff training, and implementation. Building a Data Warehouse for Decision Support also teaches a database design for large warehouses called Star Schema. This highly flexible structure will allow you to create a system capable of growing with your organization and its needs. This book is for project managers, database designers and administrators, programmers, analysts, and system and data architects.
