very practical

This book is a very practical book for information analysts, to get an overview. It covers all issues concerning a datawarehouse, without becoming too theoratical. The only minor point is the sometimes unlogical sequence.

DW / DSS Development Common Sense and Practical Advice

As someone who has been architecting, managing and implementing Data Warehouses and DSS since the beginning of the 80's I can conclude that this book is a very good introduction to Building a Data Warehouse for Decision Support. I think it would also serve as an excellent introductory book for Business Executives and DW / DSS Project Managers / Programme Managers alike. As it highlights certain pitfalls and tips from the trenches that are: not obvious to the uninitiated; avoidable; or costly then this is book is worth reading - rather than skimming through.
