I’ve read some really great books the past few months and thought I’d post a review.
I’d highly recommend Ralph Kimball’s The Data Warehouse Toolkit.
I’d normally opt for an architecture book over a [dry] database book without a second thought. Well I was pleasantly surprised to find this great resource.
Kimball gives the reader a GREAT introduction to dimensional data modeling. For those ‘big picture’ developers out there, you owe to yourself to take a look at this work.
I’ll leave the lengthy reviews to those more eloquent writes out there 
Two thumbs up.
