Editorial Reviews: The world of data warehousing has changed remarkably since the first edition of The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit was published in 1998. With this new edition, Ralph Kimball and his colleagues have refined the original set of Lifecycle methods and techniques based on their consulting and training experience. They walk you through the detailed steps of designing, developing, and deploying a data warehousing/business intelligence system. With substantial new and updated content, this second edition again sets the standard in data warehousing for the next decade.

Written mostly in plain English (for those of us who are not techies).. it also provides sections were it deciphers technical acronyms and concepts.

If you have big experience with DW/BI projects, or even you are a beginner, it shows you all steps to create a sucessuful project. Customer Rating: Summary: What Every DW/BI professional should have on his or her desk Comment: The first edition, while very valuable and still relevant was getting long in the tooth - it was published 10 years ago. This book remains pragmatic and useful for just about every role assoiciated with the data warehouse and business intelligence. My favorite chapter is on Collecting the Requirements but you will find sections that will make a difference in your DW/BI project implementation and sustainance.

This 2nd edition is a great improvement over the original with lots of new material and new spins on old material. This is a must read for anybody claiming to be a DW/BI Professional. More Reviews
