Not for the brain dead
This is an excellent book, detailing what can be accomplished. It is definitely not for those who have no understanding of databases. An excellent tool.

Read this book...but then...run into a brick wall
Frankly this is a nice book for beginers as well as a ref. source for experienced data warehouse experts. The book very briefly, avoiding all the boaring and unnecessary details, explains the process for building a data warehouse.But there is something very interesting about this book.... There is no way you can reach the authors of this book if you want some explanation on something written in this book. There is no email address or any other contact detail mentioned anywhere in the book. Also, any attempt to write to the publishers to get some help are totallly futile..they just don't seem to care. This leaves the reader with a far-from-satisfied feeling after reading this book. Nevertheless, I believe the authors have no role to play in in this book providing a not-so-adequate experience. ---- One disappointed reader nmcv@hotmail.com

Adequate at best . . . .
I was disappointed that the authors did nothing but gloss over the new data warehouse feature of Oracle 8i . Considering who the authors are (both high level Oracle employees) I was hoping for more in depth analysis. This book cover just the basic of what Oracle 8i can really do. Little to no examples make this book more of a theory book than on with practical advice. I would recommend getting a copy of Oracle 8i Data Warehousing Guide. It a pdf file that you need to get from an Oracle Employee. Its harder to get but well worth the effort ! ! ! !
