Gerken:Data warehouse systems for dummies

Every business intelligence application ultimately relies on a data warehouse. Data warehousing is therefore a very important area of applied computer science, especially in the age of big data. This book examines the data warehouse from two perspectives: that of the developer and that of the user. The future developer learns how to develop a data warehouse using appropriate methods. For the future user, the author addresses topics such as reporting, online analytical processing, and data mining. The textbook is also suitable for self-study, although knowledge of database systems is required.
