Sinopsis

Master the most agile and resilient design for building analytics applications: the Unified Star Schemaá(USS) approach. The USS has many benefits over traditional dimensional modeling. Witness the power of the USS as a single star schemaáthat serves as a foundation for all present and future business requirements of your organization.Data warehouse legend Bill Inmon and business intelligence innovator, Francesco Puppini, explain step-by-step why the Unified Star Schema is the recommended approach for business intelligence designs today, and show through many examples how to build and use this new solution. This book contains two parts. Part I, Architecture, explains the benefits of data marts and data warehouses, covering how organizations progressed to their current state of analytics, and to the challenges that result from current business intelligence architectures. Chapter 1 covers the drivers behind and the characteristics of the data warehouse and data mart. Chapter 2 introduces dimensional modeling concepts, including fact tables, dimensions, star joins, and snowflakes. Chapter 3 recalls the evolution of the data mart. Chapter 4 explains Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL), and the value ETL brings to reporting. Chapter 5 explores the Integrated Data Mart Approach, and Chapter 6 explains how to monitor this environment. Chapter 7 describes the different types of metadata within the data warehouse environment. Chapter 8 progresses through the evolution to our current modern data warehouse environment.Part II, the Unified Star Schema, covers the Unified Star Schema (USS) approach and how it solves the challenges introduced in Part I. There are eight chapters within Part II:Chapter 9, Introduction to the Unified Star Schema: Learn about its architecture and use cases, as well as how the USS approach differs from the traditional approach. Chapter 10, Loss of Data: Learn about the loss of dataáand the USS Bridge. Understand that the USS approach does not create any join, and for this reason, it has no loss of data. Chapter 11, The Fan Trap: Get introduced to the Oriented Data Modeláconvention, and learn the dangers of a fan trap through an example. Differentiate join and association, and realize that an 'in-memory association' is the preferred solution to the fan trap. Chapter 12, The Chasm Trap: Become familiar with the Cartesian product, and then follow along with an example based on LinkedIn, which illustrates that a chasm trap produces unwanted duplicates. See that the USS Bridge is based on a union, which does not create any duplicates. Chapter 13, Multi-Fact Queries: Distinguish between multiple facts 'with direct connection' versus multiple facts 'with no direct connection'. Explore how BI tools are capable of building aggregated virtual rows.Chapter 14, Loops: Learn more about loops and five traditional techniques to solve them. Follow along with an implementation, which will illustrate the solution based on the USS approach.Chapter 15,
