Publisher's Synopsis
This text, however, goes beyond case studies. In it, the author analyzes, with masterly skill, the funda-mental concepts of data warehousing, data marts, and online analytical processing (OLAP). He also devotes his attention to such important topics as data mining, how to build a data warehouse, and poten-tial applications of data warehousing technology in government. This compact and well-organized text is intended for postgraduate students of engineering (M.Tech.) and computer applications (MCA) as well as for software professionals and database practitioners. The book, which beautifully blends the principles and real-life case studies, should be cherished both by the student and the professional for its clarity of exposition and its contemporary approach.
