Oracle DBA Guide to Data Warehousing and Star Schemas Review by James H.
Unprofessional style and lack of knowledge
The author definitely has an arrogant style of writing. The book just talks about one way of doing things without being open about other possible better ways of designing and implementing efficient techniques. Oracle features such as partitioning, materialized views, external tables are not done enough justice.
Data warehouse requirements are much more than the two-dimentional approach discussed. There is minimal or no discussion of performance at the system level taking into account infrastruture, architecture, query optimizaion, front-end tools etc.
A very narrow outlook on datawarehouse implementations.
