Not for the brain dead

This is an excellent book, detailing what can be accomplished. It is definitely not for those who have no understanding of databases. An excellent tool.

Kick start your Data Warehouse

At last - a description of the Oracle 8i data warehouse toolkit. It's a well-presented practical recipe book for using the new facilities such as materialised views and the full power of Enterprise Manager with the Data Mart Suite. Whilst focusing primarily on Oracle proprietary products, the authors are careful to point out that certain aspects were still under development at the time of writing. Indeed things are moving so fast in this whole area that there are sure to be some gaps.Now that we have the further development of the "intelligent web house" I expect there will be a sequel to this volume. Meanwhile those starting a new project with Oracle will find this a great guide to launching a successful warehouse and avoiding some of the pitfalls encountered by the earlier pioneering developers. I'm pleased that I invested in it.
