Recensione:

(...)
Das Buch richtet sich prim�r an Designer und Informations-Manager im Umfeld von Data-Warehouse-Anwendungen. Diese Zielgruppe erh�lt Ratschl�ge und Handlungsanleitungen, um deren Anforderungen optimal zu bew�ltigen. Dabei ist der ganzheitliche Ansatz zu betonen, der eine evolution�re Weiterentwicklung besser als singul�re Schnellsch�sse unterst�tzen kann. auch der zugrundeliegende Architekturcharakter tr�gt zur Festigung dieser Intension bei. Zu knapp werden die Themen Data Mining und Parallelverarbeitung angesprochen; ebenfalls fehlen zur Vertiefung weiterf�hrende Literaturhinweise. Insbesondere SMP und MPP bieten f�r die praktische Realisierung wichtige Unterst�tzungshilfen. Wobei zur Verbesserung der Performance die F�higkeit einiger DBMS Abfragen zu optimieren und parallel zu verarbeiten n�tzlich ist.
