TDWI World Conference Fall November 7-12, 2010

Prerequisite: This course assumes basic knowledge about dimensional modeling and some hands-on experience, as well as knowledge of dimensional DW concepts.

Laura L. Reeves

You have done your homework. You have learned the fundamental dimensional modeling skills, and you have jumped into the first, second, and third project. Now what? Your modeling problems do not fit neatly into the textbook examples. Maybe you are stumped, or perhaps you think you have solved the problem correctly but need a second opinion.

This accelerated class will go beyond the fundamental questions to tackle some of the most commonly asked questions and address the most common mistakes that people make. This course is based on real-world experience in dealing with large data volumes and very complex models. The goal of this course is to equip you with the tools and knowledge to address your complex modeling challenges and meet your demanding business needs.

You Will Learn

• Advanced techniques for handling complex, real-life dimensional modeling problems
• How to weigh advantages and disadvantages of design options
• Guidelines for designing complex data marts
• Techniques to keep users involved in the modeling process

Geared To

• Data modelers; database administrators; project managers; staging system developers; end-user application designers
