Reviews Amazon.com Data warehouses can help businesses identify trends early enough to capitalize upon them and can prove immensely valuable in running a company well. However, implementing a data warehouse requires that considerable effort be spent in corralling an organization's business processes, decision makers, customer base, and technology resources into a manageable form. Microsoft Data Warehousing helps map the process for you, particularly if you're planning to build your warehouse around Microsoft SQL Server 7 and its related technologies. The Microsoft Data Warehousing Framework centers on the Microsoft Repository, and the authors of this book go into depth on how Repository represents metadata. They also cover the Component Object Model (COM), Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), Object Linking and Embedding database (OLE DB), and ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) as they relate to enterprise databases. While Microsoft Data Warehousing gets into actual development of SQL Server systems to a small extent, the book's illustrations are mainly useful as educational tools--you'll want to have a more development-centric book on hand for actual construction work. In addition to its overview of Microsoft's enterprise database technologies, this book provides quite a bit of management information and commentary. If you are curious about what enterprise data management can do for your company or you are involved in designing a warehouse system from the top, you will find this business-centric information helpful. --David Wall Synopsis |
