Customer Reviews & Comments
I took this exam after taking the SQL Admin and Design exams (70-028 and 70-029). I have many years of experience as a DBA, but none with Data Warehousing. Multidemensional schemas and cubes were completely new concepts for me which this book did a fine job of introducing me to. There is a good mix of instruction and hands on exercises. For review, I used the "About this book" section at the front which maps the exam objectives to the individual chapters and lessons. I also read thru the OLAP Services Books Online "Administrators Guide" section that comes with the product. There is a huge amount of material to cover and this book seemed to give about the right breadth and depth that I needed to pass the exam - topics like DSO, DTO and ADO MD objects models, MDX, DTS, replication, English Query, Logical and Physical data warehouse design, and of course OLAP Services. My weakest area, based on the exam results, was in the "Analyzing Business Requirements" and "Developing the Logical Design", predictable, since I had so little experience. More case studies along the lines of "Here's the customer senario - go design the data warehouse" followed by "Here's a good design and why" would help.
