This review is from: Oracle 10g Data Warehousing (Paperback)

Well I found this book extremely useful. Okay so you could wade thru the doc, but this book has everthing in one place with some easy to follow examples. It also encouraged me to take a look at using EM rather than typing everything in on the command line.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good overall coverage, May 30, 2005

A reader (San Jose, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oracle 10g Data Warehousing (Paperback)

This book is very useful if you want to get overall coverage of data warehousing related features in Oracle 10g. The book does not covers any topic in details but does covers all areas (SQL, Utilities, OWB, Discoverer, ODM) related to the DW/BI space.
