Data Warehouse Fundamentals

A Beginner’s Guide

About the Book

Recently I got the opportunity to explore the fundamentals of data warehouses and dimensional modeling. This isn't a regular textbook instead it is a different approach to share what I learnt. The entire manual is hand-written, with examples that walk the readers through fundamental concepts of data warehousing and dimensional modeling. It also discusses few important concepts like slowly changing dimensions and different types of fact tables. Enjoy reading and please do let me know your feedback!
