On Mon, 5 Feb 2001,[EMAIL PROTECTED] scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:
-> There are two basic problems with data warehouses that I've seen & it should
->be noted that I'm in the middle of specing a re-wtite of ours. 1) people create
->then in a normalized manner, not in the idea of a series of stars. COnsequently
->you end up with too much data in a single table making that table a real bear to
->manage. 2) end users have this ungodly desire for speed. My GOD, if your
->searching through 2 or 3 billion rows of data of course it's going to take a
->while.
i'm currently fighting with damagement over the same issues. "no
datawrehousing is not the same as creating a production database." "no i
can't get the warehouse to run as fast as the production database and do it
right."
repeat the above two statments several times a day.;-)
