I was thoroughly disappointed with this book. I was excited to pick up the book and start reading it. From that point on, everything went downhill.
As an experienced DW professional, I wanted to learn and understand what was new about DW 2.0. I am afraid to say I am still trying to understand what is new. In the preface, the book claims, "Unlike the term 'data warehouse,' DW 2.0 has a crisp, well-defined meaning. That meaning is identified and defined in this book." Unfortunately, that is not the case; it is full of vague generalities and cobbled together concepts that have been around for years. It seems to want to say, "anything you built in the past was wrong, this is right way." That said, it does not really prescribe anything. As far being the "Architecture for the Next Generation of Data Warehousing," that is the biggest stretch for credibility by far.
It does cover a lot of data warehousing concepts, sourcing, staging, integrating, and preparing data for consumption. It does highlight the need to extend data warehouses with unstructured data - this may be as close to a new concept as anything in the book - although if you go back to "Building the Data Warehouse," you find that concept there too. The chapter on unstructured data is a pretty good introduction to the subject. The book does talk to metadata, quality, and security.
Beyond that, this book is laughable. The chapters on methodology, cost justification, ETL, migration, and life-cycle management are awful. Any Kimball-istas out there will have apoplexy with regard to how data-marts and star schemas are treated - a section in the Miscellaneous chapter.
The components of the book that really frustrated me were the illustrations. They were poorly constructed, illuminated, and documented. Often times they had no meaning whatsoever. They were just little squiggles repeated over and over again. My blood would boil when I was told the green box represented one thing while the red box represented something else. For heaven's sake, these were all black and white illustrations. Did anyone edit this book?
All in all, I cannot recommend this book to anyone other than experienced data warehouse professionals with untreated hypotension. I think Inmon has done himself a disservice allowing his name to be associated with a book of this poor quality. It is definitely not up to his usual level of thought or insight.
More About This Textbook
Overview
Data Warehousing has been around for 20 years and has become part of the information technology infrastructure. Data warehousing originally grew in response to the corporate need for information—not data—and it supplies integrated, granular, and historical data to the corporation.
There are many kinds of data warehouses, in large part due to evolution and different paths of software and hardware vendors. But DW 2.0, defined by this author in many talks, articles, and his b-eye-network newsletter that reaches 65,000 professionals monthly, is the well-identified and defined next generation data warehouse.
The book carries that theme and describes the future of data warehousing that is technologically possible now, at both an architectural level and technology level. The perspective of the book is from the top down: looking at the overall architecture and then delving into the issues underlying the components. The benefit of this for people who are building or using a data warehouse can see what lies ahead, and can determine: what new technology to buy, how to plan extensions to the data warehouse, what can be salvaged from the current system, and how to justify the expense—at the most practical level.
All of this gives the experienced data warehouse professional everything and exactly what is needed in order to implement the new generation DW 2.0.
• First book on the new generation of data warehouse architecture, DW 2.0.
• Written by the "father of the data warehouse", Bill Inmon, a columnist and newsletter editor of The Bill Inmon Channel on the Business Intelligence Network.
• Long overdue comprehensive coverage of the implementation of technology and tools that enable the new generation of the DW: metadata, temporal data, ETL, unstructured data, and data quality control.
