Oracle 10g: Data Warehousing Fundamentals

Duration:

What you will learn

In this course, participants study the issues involved in planning, designing, building, populating, and maintaining a

successful data warehouse. Participants learn the reasons why data warehousing is a compelling decision support

solution in today's business climate. During the course, participants examine warehouse technologies; they also

examine Oracle’s approach to a successful data warehouse implementation by identifying proven Data Warehouse and

Business Intelligence (DW and BI) technologies and tools provided by Oracle. Students are provided tours of Oracle

Warehouse Builder through viewlets. Participants identify features of Oracle10g database, which aid the data

warehouse implementation. Students are given a set of data warehouse implementation templates (documents such as

project management plan, data models, and so on.), they analyze the case study provided to them, and answer the

questions based on the case study. In addition, students will also perform self-guided practices on Analytical Workspace

Manager (AWM) and Oracle Warehouse Builder. Learn To:Define the terminology and explain the basic concepts of

data warehousingIdentify the technology and tools from Oracle to implement a successful data warehouseDefine the

decision support purpose and end goal of a data warehouseDescribe the OLAP and Data mining techniques and

toolsDevelop familiarity with the various technologies required to implement a data warehouseExplain the
