Data Warehousing Books

I don't have this book. Would consider it if it was applicable to me. There are many DB/2 certification tests. I am DB/2 DBA certified in UDB/LUW V8 and V9. There are certification tests many versions back. The zOS platform DBA certification tests are different from the Linux, Unix, Windows tests. There are certification tests specific to DB/2 application development.... Data Warehousing.... At least provide DB/2 version level information in the description for someone considering this book.

This book is nothing close to what it promises. It promotes itself as a practical guide to BI but there is nothing practical in it, other than highly theoretical views and recommendations like "you have to have metrics" but no clue as to WHAT metrics...
Not a single practical example. I browsed through the book and i decided not to read it in full because I would learn absolutely nothing.
Plus, there was no effort on the presentation side. The few graphics that are included are blurred and hard to read. As if the publisher photocopied the draft notes of the writer.
I think Amazon should monitor its ads to serious readers. Not just send out recommendations based on the title!

I did not get much out of it. I wish I did not waste the money on it. It was 125 pages of very basic information with some big font that I can get off the web. I read it in 2 hours. A very unhappy customer.

The book is not for DBA at all. I did not get much out of it. They did not talk about the GUI tools provided by Teradata. Just the Teradata SQL syntax and general concepts. The sample they give is more of Teradata 101. I wish I did not get it. It was 162 pages of information that I can get off the web. I read it in 2 days. A very unhappy customer.
