Learn Data Warehousing in 24 Hours

Book excerpt: Unlike popular belief, Data Warehouse is not a single tool but a collection of software tools. A data warehouse will collect data from diverse sources into a single database. Using Business Intelligence tools, meaningful insights are drawn from this data. The best thing about “Learn Data Warehousing in 1 Day" is that it is small and can be completed in a day. With this e-book, you will be enough knowledge to contribute and participate in a Data warehouse implementation project. The book covers upcoming and promising technologies like Data Lakes, Data Mart, ELT (Extract Load Transform) amongst others.
