Offering a radical approach for maximizing data warehousing performance and flexibility, this book teaches every aspect of designing, building, tuning, and maintaining star schema data warehouses using Oracle 8I and 9i. Scalzo (designer of 7-Eleven's multi-terabyte star schema data warehouse) explains the difference between a database and a data warehouse and encourages readers to let go of their Oracle DBA baggage and embrace seemingly outlandish concepts including creating bitmap indexes on every column of every table, and not normalizing database designs. Topics include the right way to partition, tuning ad-hoc queries for lightning speed, and industrial-strength data loading techniques. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
