Excellence in dimensional modeling remains the keystone of a well designed data warehouse. This course gives you the opportunity to learn directly from the industry’s dimensional modeling leaders, Ralph Kimball and Margy Ross. Ralph Kimball and Margy Ross are co-authors of the best selling The Data Warehouse Toolkit.

This course is designed for data warehouse architects, data modelers, DBAs, application developers, and system designers. It is appropriate for anyone interested in an A to Z coverage of dimensional modeling. Every attendee in this class will receive Ralph Kimball and Margy Ross’ book, The Data Warehouse Toolkit, 2nd Edition.

What You Will Learn In this course you will learn classic dimensional modeling from beginning to advanced issues. Following the tradition of the Data Warehouse Toolkit, all the techniques in this class will be motivated by specific industry situations. During the class you will briefly “work” in retail, procurement, inventory, order management, accounting, human resources, customer relationship management, financial services, telecommunications, transportation, education, health care, electronic commerce and insurance! You will stand back from all these industries and learn how to develop the data warehouse “bus architecture” which is the basis for building distributed data warehouse systems.

You will learn to discern what is myth and what is real in dimensional modeling.
