Hi all,

I hope someone can help me with a couple of questions related to Oracle/MSSQL DW/BI Environments.

I'm new to DW/BI but not to Databases ( Actually an Oracle DBA ) and I'm hoping to learn the most of it, but I'm not sure where to begin.

Which DW/BI technology is best?Oracle or MSSQL?
Where should I start?
Which documentation/Tutorial/Book/Site/Video  would you recommend?

I'll be in Vacation for 30 day's and would like to maximize my studies in DW/BI (8 Hours a day)

Thanks in advance.

The jury is still out on the absolute "best" technology ... but Oracle+Informatica has a bigger market share than MSSQL - that's probably a good indicator.  Wink

A good place to start would be to master the basic concepts of DW. Do that, and it's more than half the job already done.

Personal suggestion - MSSQL BI products come with a very good sample DW implementation called "Adventure Works" - even if you're not focusing on MSSQL, that is a good place to learn the abstract DW basic concepts and their practical implementations.

p.s. - Oracle might have something similar to Adventure Works, but I'm not really an Oracle person.
