The Microsoft Data Warehouse Toolkit: With SQL Server 2008 R2 and the Microsoft Business Intelligence Toolset

Buy

In the five years since the first edition was published, Microsoft has made impressive progress in building out its data warehousing and business intelligence tools suite. It is gratifying to those of us who work in this space to see the steady commitment that Microsoft has made to provide usable, professional quality tools. During these five years, Warren and Joy have consulted with dozens of clients, taught scores of classes, answered hundreds if not thousands of questions, had many “schema lunches” where the schema diagrams competed with the food, and have pounded on every module in Microsoft’s DW/BI toolset. This current edition remains a unique reference, combining overall perspectives on what the tools do with accurate assessments of how well they do it. This book teaches judgment, not button clicks!
