Great Practical Book to Using Oracle*i for Data Warehousing
The heart of data warehousing is the database - Oracle, despite the bugs, is one of the most practical databases for large data repositories.I have designed and installed Oracle data warehouses on Unix (and lately Linux) since the early nineties. The secret to a fulfilling relationship with an Oracle database set-up is knowing which stable Oracle release to use and the suitability with the operating platform. Essential Oracle 8i Data Warehousing is focused on giving readers an objective understanding of using Oracle for implementing data warehousing repositories. This book is better suited to technical users, who already have some understanding of Oracle, about to embark on the data warehousing process. This is not a book that is heavy on the side of data warehousing design nor dimensional modeling. There are other books that serve these subject areas well. Please let me know if you have found this review helpful.

Simplistic, Easy to follow and the best choice for Oracle pr
When I got started off on DataWarehousing , the first book I turned to was Ralph Kimball's The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit.That was a good backgrounder.
But primarily being an Oracle guy and with experiences on OLTP systems I wanted to get a holistic view of how the DW fits in. And this book just does that. To Oracle professionals who aspire for more information DW related implementation I also recommend going through the Oracle DW manual....
