With this textbook, Vaisman and Zimányi deliver excellent coverage of data warehousing and business intelligence technologies ranging from the most basic principles to recent findings and applications. To this end, their work is structured into three parts. Part I describes “Fundamental Concepts” including multi-dimensional models; conceptual and logical data warehouse design and MDX and SQL/OLAP. Subsequently, Part II details “Implementation and Deployment,” which includes physical data warehouse design; data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) and data analytics. Lastly, Part III covers “Advanced Topics” such as spatial data warehouses; trajectory data warehouses; semantic technologies in data warehouses and novel technologies like Map Reduce, column-store databases and in-memory databases. As a key characteristic of the book, most of the topics are presented and illustrated using application tools. Specifically, a case study based on the well-known Northwind database illustrates how the concepts presented in the book can be implemented using Microsoft Analysis Services and Pentaho Business Analytics. All chapters are summarized using review questions and exercises to support comprehensive student learning. Supplemental material to assist instructors using this book as a course text is available at http://cs.ulb.ac.be/DWSDIbook/, including electronic versions of the figures, solutions to all exercises, and a set of slides accompanying each chapter. Overall, students, practitioners and researchers alike will find this book the most comprehensive reference work on data warehouses, with key topics described in a clear and educational style.

This book is a comprehensive and easy-to-understand guide for using the Oracle Data Provider (ODP) version 11g on the .NET Framework. It also outlines the core GoF (Gang of Four) design patterns and coding techniques employed to build and deploy high-impact mission-critical applications using advanced Oracle database features through the ODP.NET provider. The book details the features of the ODP.NET provider in two main sections: “Basic,” covering the basics and mechanisms for data access via ODP.NET; and “Advanced,’ covering advanced Oracle features such as globalization, savepoints, distributed transactions and how to call them via ODP.NET, advanced queueing (AQ), and promotable transactions. It takes you from the ground up through different implementation scenarios via a rich collection of C# code samples. It outlines database security and performance optimization tricks and techniques on ODP.NET that conform to best practices and adaptable design. Different GoF design patterns are highlighted for different types of ODP.NET usage scenarios with consideration of performance and security. It provides a comprehensive guide to the synergistic integration of Oracle and Microsoft technologies such as the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (11.1.0.7.10). It also details how programmers can make use of ODT to streamline the creation of robust ODP.NET applications from within the Visual Studio environment.

The intention of this book is to provide a jumpstart for a developer to gain knowledge on how to do ELT using Oracle Data Integrator 12c. This book explains the most common business requirements using a simple source and target objects. This manuscript contains real time examples with step-by-step guidance and screen shots. All examples used are simple in nature. The idea is for the reader to gain confidence with using the Oracle Data Integrator. Examples are intended to be a good encouraging factor for developers to gain confidence. This book is designed to be a stepping-stone for the developer to venture into advance features of Oracle Data Integrator. After reading this book, developers are meant to gain a basic idea on how to use Oracle Data Integrator during their development cycle. Just by reading the ODI developer guide, a developer may not be able to perform mapping, however the step-by-step screen shots provided in this book will enable the developer to understand the tool better. There are other ways to perform the ELT other than the ones explained in this book. The intent of this guidebook is to show a sample method only. Developers can feel free to try their own methods to accomplish their results. In the author's opinion, the ROI for buying this book will be over 100% because this guide is proven to save valuable time when learning ETL using Oracle Data Integrator 12c. In general it may take a Developer two to three weeks to understand and begin ETL coding. With the help of this guide, a developer can start coding in a very short period of time; perhaps in three to four days' time.
