Leverage the agility of universal modeling techniques through real-world examples and SQL templates using Snowflake’s unique objects and features Key Features Learn core modeling techniques tied to practical examples using native Snowflake architecture Adopt a universal modeling language to communicate business value to functional teams Go beyond physical modeling with SQL recipes to transform and shape your Snowflake data Book DescriptionThe Snowflake Data Cloud is one of the fastest-growing platforms for data warehousing and application workloads. Snowflake's scalable, cloud-native architecture and expansive set of features and objects enables you to deliver data solutions quicker than ever before. Yet, we must ensure that these solutions are developed using recommended design patterns and accompanied by documentation that’s easily accessible to everyone in the organization. This book will help you get familiar with simple and practical data modeling frameworks that accelerate agile design and evolve with the project from concept to code. These universal principles have helped guide database design for decades, and this book pairs them with unique Snowflake-native objects and examples like never before – giving you a two-for-one crash course in theory as well as direct application. By the end of this Snowflake book, you’ll have learned how to leverage Snowflake’s innovative features, such as time travel, zero-copy cloning, and change-data-capture, to create cost-effective, efficient designs through time-tested modeling principles that are easily digestible when coupled with real-world examples.What you will learn Discover the time-saving benefits and applications of data modeling Learn about Snowflake’s cloud-native architecture and its features Understand and apply modeling techniques using Snowflake objects Universal modeling concepts and language through Snowflake objects Get comfortable reading and transforming semistructured data Learn directly with pre-built recipes and examples Learn to apply modeling frameworks from Star to Data Vault Who this book is forThis book is for developers working with SQL who are looking to build a strong foundation in modeling best practices and gain an understanding of where they can be effectively applied to save time and effort. Whether you’re an ace in SQL logic or starting out in database design, this book will equip you with the practical foundations of data modeling to guide you on your data journey with Snowflake. Developers who’ve recently discovered Snowflake will be able to uncover its core features and learn to incorporate them into universal modeling frameworks.

Do You Know If Your Data Warehouse Flexible, Scalable, Secure and Will It Stand The Test Of Time And Avoid Being Part Of The Dreaded "Life Cycle"?

The Data Vault took the Data Warehouse world by storm when it was released in 2001. Some of the world's largest and most complex data warehouse situations understood the value it gave especially with the capabilities of unlimited scaling, flexibility and security.

Here is what industry leaders say about the Data Vault

""The Data Vault is the optimal choice for modeling the EDW in the DW 2.0 framework" "- Bill Inmon, The Father of Data Warehousing

""The Data Vault is foundationally strong and an exceptionally scalable architecture"" - Stephen Brobst, CTO, Teradata

""The Data Vault should be considered as a potential standard for RDBMS-based analytic data management by organizations looking to achieve a high degree of flexibility, performance and openness"" - Doug Laney, Deloitte Analytics Institute

""I applaud Dan's contribution to the body of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing knowledge and recommend this book be read by both data professionals and end users"" - Howard Dresner, From the Foreword - Speaker, Author, Leading Research Analyst and Advisor

You have in your hands the work, experience and testing of 2 decades of building data warehouses. The Data Vault model and methodology has proven itself in hundreds (perhaps thousands) of solutions in Insurance, Crime-Fighting, Defense, Retail, Finance, Banking, Power, Energy, Education, High-Tech and many more.

Learn the techniques and implement them and learn how to build your Data Warehouse faster than you have ever done before while designing it to grow and scale no matter what you throw at it.
