Title: Book Shoudn't have titled Datawarehousing
Review: I just finished first 4 chapters of the book. The book could have been better titled some thing other than Data Warehousing. Some of the examples & comments in the book are misleading. Like single CPU machines are good to DATAMARTs. In the book it is mentioned BJI are faster. I think BJ are better than BJI on partationed tables, Some wrong example like City rolling up to the County (Please give some Real world examples please?). In one of the screen on summary advisor the example talks about 280% gain by adding MV utilizing 55K. I am prety sure this was not the DW environment on which this sumary management was done. I would sujjest the ORACLE DBA-Guide to Data warehousing Star Schema over this book. Or use the Oracle documentation Part NO A96520-01.
