This book skillfully provides a conceptual and working model of a successful data warehouse process that is developed by using SAS software. Written for both the business and technical sides of the house, Welbrock supplies real-life experience with data warehousing, not a theoretical approach. This book delivers the following three-phase strategy for building a data warehouse: 1) Build a conceptual data warehouse that contains metadata about the business elements that are documented in the conceptual warehouse into a technological lexicon. 3) Implement the physical data warehouse. Topics discussed that support the data warehousing process are data modeling, data transformation, multi-dimensional databases, data extraction and storage, warehouse loading, client/server, and SAS/Warehouse Administrator. The Strategy for designing your effective data warehouse is found in these pages!
