Flexible Data Warehouse Architecture
My friend and colleague, Sanjay, just put up a new video discussing aspects of using the Data Vault as your data warehouse architecture.
It is really short – just barely 10 minutes.
You can jump over to see the video here.
Covers a nice little discussion comparing dimensional (star schema) models to data vault as a centralized data warehouse repository (as opposed to end-user facing data mart).
As a bonus, Sanjay also covers the basics of data vault modeling using an actual chalk board (okay so he is “old school”).
So why listen to Sanjay?
He is the co-founder with Dan Linstedt of LearnDataVault.com and has done tons of writing and consulting on Data Vault for quite a few years. He was behind the scenes helping us get the book out on the web, Amazon, and on Kindle.
He knows whereof he speaks.
Have a listen.
Be careful – you might learn something. 🙂
Later.
