User Review on Amazon.com, Rating: 5 stars
"Coffing, et al have written the definitive book on Data Warehousing approaches.
It is true that the book appears slanted toward NCR's Teradata. However, the approaches
and insights offered in the book apply across all platforms and vendors until you grow
an extremely large data warehouse. Still think it's slanted? Read reports from Gartner,
Mehta, and the other big consultants that cover general data warehouse approaches, and
you'll see that Coffing, et al have the right approach. Once you do that, THEN you can
go look for the right vendor. A Must Read for anyone interested in a non-technical view
of data warehousing."
