Audience: DW architects and DBAs.
Prerequisites: Completion of our course Data Warehouse Terms, Concepts & Architecture or equivalent knowledge.
Summary: After presenting entity relationship (ER) and dimensional modelling (DM) as competing alternatives, the presentation will focus on the use of DM techniques when developing and implementing a very large data warehouse. Using real-world business scenarios, SALES, for example, the instructor will coach the participants from logical through physical design of a data warehouse involving at least five dimensions and one-or-more star schemas.

  • Design and creation of indexes
  • Design and creation of integrity constraints
  • Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) options
  • Parallelism
  • Design and create materialized views (summary tables)
Throughout the foregoing, best practices and performance issues are discussed.
