A few of bits of product news I’ve picked up recently.
The next release of Oracle Business Intelligence is due around the end of the
summer (2005) and is being referred to as Business Intelligence 10g Phase 2
(although this might be an internal name). The big news is the inclusion of
Oracle Warehouse Builder "Paris", which is due […]

I noticed a useful thread on the OTN OLAP Forum on
controlling the sort order of a dimension in AWM 10.1.0.4. As it’s sometimes
difficult to link to individual OTN Forum postings (the link seems to break

"I have noticed in the "help" of AWM 10.1.0.4 that there […]

A couple of open-source BI links.

particular pointed out the Pentaho Nation
project, a group of industry veterans who are aiming to build a cohesive
technology stack out of the various open-source BI components.
In addition, Julian Ford, one of my […]

I
guess the big news last week from a tech point of view was
Apple’s announcement that they were moving to Intel processors from 2006,
starting with the Mac Mini. It’s a decision that of course was particularly
interesting given the previous pronouncements that the PowerPC architecture

Like a few other people I was up in Edinburgh earlier this week for the OUG
Scottish SIG. I was asked to present at a fairly late date on Business
Intelligence 10g, and as the short BI presentation I did at the last Scottish
conference went down well, I thought it was worth putting something together. A
bit of […]

Some dimensions in a data warehouse are easy to understand… for a retail DW, stock might be composed of three dimensions: when, where and what; sales on the other hand, might also have a customer dimension (if customers are known, say, in a loyalty scheme or by delivery address) It would seem hard to come […]

Revision history - minor change to clarify one note 2-jun-05
At the end of 2003 I took on a project to redesign a multi-terabyte DW for one of our customers - changes to their data feeds required the replacement of the majority of interfaces. I also took the opportunity to move from the old-style 8i code […]
