For methodology/project management #11 is the classic, #27 is a proven treasure and #83 for the iterative approach. Some of them are dimensional modelling (Adamson’s #8 is excellent), some are about ETL (Kimball’s #7 is a jewel). #7 to #11 explain Kimball’s theory in more detail. On Oracle, it’s Hobbs (#54) and on Teradata it’s Coffing’s series (#58 to #63). For ODS design it’s #17 and the newest model is in #6. If you are building a DW on SQL Server platform, Mundy’s Toolkit (#2) is a treasure. Devlin’s, Inmon’s and Imhoff’s classics (#3, #4 and #5 in the list) have broaden my horizon on the basic principles of DW design. Even data warehouse books as important as Inmon’s DW 2.0 was missed because the title doesn’t contain the word “Warehouse”.įor data modelling my all time favorite is the Kimball’s toolkit (#1 in the list). Same thing with Amazon, see Note 1 below.

It is totally understandable why Google’s search result don’t include ETL or Dimensional Modeling, for example. Disappointed with the Google search result of “data warehousing books”, I try to put all data warehousing books that I know into this page.
