A Veritable Gold Mine of Practical Hints and Tips!
As an Oracle DBA transitioning from the OLTP world to the warehousing arena, I found this book enormously helpful. In a mere 200 pages, Mr. Scalzo has elaborated on an extensive range of data warehousing topics, including: star-schemas, dimension hierarchies, SQL-tuning, partitioning and parallel loading to name a few. His style is informative and direct; his examples are meaningful and clear! This is a must-have book for all DBA's serious about designing and managing large-scale, lightning-fast data warehousing systems.

200 pages of gold dust
I think this book is exceedingly good.The relevant, balanced,technical/commercial content backed by code and examples (Particularly the 1 page diagrams) presents Mr Scalzos unquestionable leadership in this field in a simple and unambiguous manner. Mr Scalzo tells you EXACTLY how to design terabyte dwh databases with as fast as can be achieved response times. Thank you sir, for telling me the facts.

awesome, pragmatic, authoritative, factual 9i DW book
Bert has written a very good book that's full of real life empirical facts and experiences, mainly from building a vary vary large DW for 7/11. Bert does especially good job describing I/O, partitioning, spindles. His section on high speed / high volume data loader techniques is also very very good.I have been leading / managing / directing / coding Oracle software development projects for 15 years for 3 Fortune 100 companies, and am both technical as well as "functional". Highly recommend Bert's book for DBA's, SA's, designers, programmers, technical project managers.
