Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Oracle Data Warehousing (Oracle Series) (Paperback)
Aimed at all levels of users, administrators and architects, "Oracle Data Warehousing" offers basics, project management, and technical tutorials. The lightly referenced, verbose, chapters span: what is a data warehouse; things to consider; building the team; managing the data warehouse project; moving the data into the warehouse; Oracle's data warehousing features; data mining; datamarts; metadata; RAID; keeping your data safe; Oracle Express & OLAP Solutions; data mining tools; datamart tools; index and tuning issues. Strengths revolve around the attractive use of heading, lists, charts, screen-shots, and code examples, and the topical relevance to business of data warehousing. Weaknesses include: the 45% excess words for content, typos; simplistic business examples; a seeming Oracle advert focus; need for business success anecdotes; a need for more science/ rigor about machine learning and artificial intelligence; and a need for more about wider industry trends/tools. Overall this needed better editing, more business content, and more rigor to be considered worthwhile.
