A good book

1. I recommend this book for a beginner and advanced users for clear understanding on dimensional modelling.
2. I am happy to say, I received a replacement book since my first order was not delivered to me.

The Bible for starting a Data Warehouse project

Our organisation was establishing a BI competence centre. This book along with the others in the series offered all the guidance needed to make sense of the terminology - and more importantly gave real-life worked examples rather than just theory. We bought it for everyone on the team.

A must have

I picked this up about 18 months ago as a primer, and it's still helping me today as I continue to develop new datawarehouse designs. Each time I have to do something for the first time, there's usually a chapter in the book for it. I feel a lot more comfortable having it on my desk!!

Excellent book

I found this book extrememly useful. I do not come from a database background, I'm more of an analyst but the concepts were well explained and it all made sense.

Kimball is the standard book to own on this subject

Excellent ground up introduction to dimensional modelling. If you think you need this book, then this is most certainly the book to get you started and take you well into the subject.

Ralph Kimball wrote the first edition of this book. This edition has been updated by another author and includes (for example sections on finance, health and education).

Will not disappoint. We used this book as a management communication vehicle (we gave them copies and that saved a LOT of repeated and dumb questions). Minor issue, - not enough mauve in the book.

Recommended if you want to get into marts, warehouses and a series of career opportunities. I also recommend the series (they look very similar to this cover).
