Data Warehousing

Data Warehousing: Using the Wal-Mart Model is a practical guide to both the business and technical aspects of building a data warehouse for storing and accessing data in a strategically useful way. As its title suggests, it examines the development of the world's largest, most famous, and most ambitious commercial database. Westerman draws on this extensive, continuous example to teach readers the general principles and specific techniques needed to be a valuable part of their organisation's own data warehouse project, however large or small. What further sets it apart is its focus on the data.
