With this textbook, Vaisman and Zimányi deliver excellent coverage
of data warehousing and business intelligence technologies ranging
from the most basic principles to recent findings and applications.
To this end, their work is structured into three parts. Part I
describes “Fundamental Concepts” including conceptual and
logical data warehouse design, as well as querying using MDX, DAX
and SQL/OLAP. This part also covers data analytics using Power BI
and Analysis Services. Part II details “Implementation and
Deployment,” including physical design, ETL and data warehouse
design methodologies. Part III covers “Advanced Topics” and it
is almost completely new in this second edition. This part includes
chapters with an in-depth coverage of temporal, spatial, and
mobility data warehousing. Graph data warehouses are also covered
in detail using Neo4j. The last chapter extensively studies big
data management and the usage of Hadoop, Spark, distributed,
in-memory, columnar, NoSQL and NewSQL database systems, and data
lakes in the context of analytical data processing. As a
key characteristic of the book, most of the topics are presented
and illustrated using application tools. Specifically, a case study
based on the well-known Northwind database illustrates how the
concepts presented in the book can be implemented using Microsoft
Analysis Services and Power BI. All chapters have been revised and
updated to the latest versions of the software tools used. KPIs and
Dashboards are now also developed using DAX and Power BI, and the
chapter on ETL has been expanded with the implementation of ETL
processes in PostgreSQL. Review questions and exercises complement
each chapter to support comprehensive student learning.
Supplemental material to assist instructors using this book as a
course text is available online and includes electronic versions of
the figures, solutions to all exercises, and a set of slides
accompanying each chapter. Overall, students, practitioners
and researchers alike will find this book the most comprehensive
reference work on data warehouses, with key topics described in a
clear and educational style. “I can only invite you to dive into
the contents of the book, feeling certain that once you have
completed its reading (or maybe, targeted parts of it), you will
join me in expressing our gratitude to Alejandro and Esteban, for
providing such a comprehensive textbook for the field of data
warehousing in the first place, and for keeping it up to date with
the recent developments, in this current second edition.” From
the foreword by Panos Vassiliadis, University of Ioannina, Greece.
