Title: The usual stuff on data warehousing
Review: Calling this book "Object-Oriented..." is quite a stretch. This book has a several page description of object modeling. This description is the standard description that probably can be found in hundreds of other places. If you want to read an honest attempt to explain an object-oriented approach to data warehousing, read "The Data Warehouse Method".Beyond that, the author has almost nothing new or particularly insightful to say about data warehousing. A large part of the book is given over to a discussion of dimensional modeling. Rather than build on what Ralph Kimball has written on the subject, the author just regurgitates what others have already written. If you want to read about dimensional modeling, read "The Data Warehouse Toolkit" and "Data Warehouse Design Solutions" rather than the retread material in this publication.
