In this Agile Data Warehouse Design training course, expert author Michael Blaha will teach you how to model and design a data warehouse. This course is designed for users that are already familiar with data warehouses.You will start with a data warehouse overview, then jump into learning about data sources, such as customer order, customer account, and vendor procurement. From there, Michael teaches you about staging tables, basic data warehouse modeling, recurrent dimensions, and advanced dimension data warehouse modeling. This video tutorial also covers data warehouse design, data warehouse data, and end user access. Finally, you will learn about metadata management.Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of modeling and designing your own data warehouse.
