Star Schema The Complete Reference ReviewI always been a great fan of Chris Adamson's writing - and "Star Schema - the Complete Reference" further reinforces this admiration.The text is a model of clarity, and the book's ideas are organized and presented in a way that rewards the reader with well-chosen examples of escalating dimensional elegance and power as progressively more advance concepts are introduced. Chris deftly and wisely avoids investing too much ink in philosophical discussions of data warehousing architectures, by (correctly) pointing out that dimensional models are universally embraced by all thought-leaders for the "last mile" presentation of information to users. So we best model them correctly - regardless of the upstream plumbing that feeds them.
All of the great dimensional design techniques that we've come to expect from Chris are presented here with added depth and context- including truly great materials on modeling each of the fact table types, and brilliant design approaches for hierarchies and aggregates. But I also appreciate the fact that "Star Schema" bravely addresses really tough dimensional design challenges (multi-valued dimensions, factless facts, derived schemas, and many others) that too often confound and frustrate mere mortal (us) practitioners in the field.
Chris has managed to produce a truly practical dimensional data warehouse design book that is at once irrefutably comprehensive, empowering, and yet eminently readable - a very tough balance to strike. Many thanks and congratulations to him - this is a wonderful and important contribution to the field.
