Absolutely the best source for architecting a DW solution!

This book is by far the most comprehensive, practical data warehousing book that I have seen! It is the book that I have long been seeking. It details how to build a scaleable, highly available solution. The authors not only discuss the techniques for design and implementation of the physical architecture but also include discussion on Oracle's MOLAP tools. It is the ultimate guide for architecting a high quality business solution. I recommend this book to all of my clients!
