Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I thought this book was definitely worthwhile. It gave a good explanation of the multidimensional data framework and what can be done with it. Even though I don't use Oracle, I found the discussion interesting and the concepts useful. I do web marketing as a profession and have been curious about what kinds of analyses can be done with OLAP and business intelligence tools. I think this book did a good job of explaining that. I ran across the book at the office, I picked it up and found it very readable. The book included a lot of technical specifics about how to work with the Oracle system, which I glossed over mostly, but was still able to follow the rest of the book just fine. If you want specifics on Oracle (Analytic Workspaces, Oracle OLAP, etc), you'll find them here, if you want the concepts of OLAP and multidimensional data analysis, you'll find that too, all in a well-written volume with a few funny cartoons.
