Whats Missing
The analysis is very detailed on a conceptual basis, not a technical one. Its promise to use Wal Marts modeling as a primary example is only partially met and that is very disappointing.

A very powerful book
If you ever are going to be involved in a data warehouse project, this book will bring you a lot, either your a techie or a end-userIn 250 pages, mr. Westerman provide a complete analysis- an a good one - of a real data warehouse project (simply, the most famous DW in town !) I believe that this book brings a lot wathever is your backgound and job. To me, as an experienced Data Warehouse consultant, it confirms some knowledge I had of such project and brings me a good backgroung in retail end -user report templates. You may agree - or not - with Mr. westerman architectural ambitious scheme - Enterprise DW, ODS, UDS, ... - but if he still believe they are possible after such a big project experience ! You must take his word seriously ! Overall excellent book whatever is your skill and a key reading for retail business people
