Are you an information technology professional watching, with great interest, the massive unfolding of the data warehouse movement? Are you contemplating a move into this new area of opportunity? Are you a systems analyst, programmer, data analyst, database ad- ministrator, project leader, or software engineer eager to grasp the fundamentals of data warehousing? Do you wonder how many different books you may have to read to learn the basics? Are you lost in the maze of the literature and products on the subject? Do you wish for a single publication on data warehousing, clearly and specifically designed for IT professionals? Do you need a textbook that helps you learn the fundamentals in sufficient depth-not more, not less? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, this book is written specially for you.

This is the one definitive book on data warehousing clearly intended for IT profession- als. The organization and presentation of the book are specially tuned for IT professionals. This book does not presume to target anyone and everyone remotely interested in the sub- ject for some reason or another, but is written to address the specific needs of IT profes- sionals like you. It does not tend to emphasize certain aspects and neglect other critical ones. The book takes you over the entire landscape of data warehousing.

How can this book be exactly suitable for IT professionals? As a veteran IT profession- al with wide and intensive industry experience, as a successful database and data ware- housing consultart for many years, and as one who teaches data warehousing fundamen- tals in the college classroom and in public seminars, I have come to appreciate the precise needs of IT professionals, and in every chapter I have incorporated these requirements of the IT community.
