Data warehousing is one of the most important topics in the database industry. The primary objective of a data warehouse is providing users with easy access to business information - even if it comes from different platforms, databases, and locations. This book explains how to go about constructing a data warehouse and all of the planning, building, and programming that is involved. It shows the reader how to: prepare and evaluate existing data for the data warehouse; cross reference data so it is easy to find in all corporate locations; prepare data for client/server systems; improve the consistency and quality of existing and future data; and manage the data warehouse.
