Thanks a lot for this book!Data you provided in this book is real and useful information :).
For technologists looking for a thorough exploration of the traditional data warehouse star schema, nothing compares to this book. Other reviewers are correct that although works by Ralph Kimball are classics in this space, the content that Adamson provides here is presented in much greater detail with a far greater quantity of examples, and written very well.
