Just to clarify.
The Oracle 8 Data Warehousing I feel that did not
really cover what it was supposed was the one from
Oracle Press not the one from Tim Gorman.
Tim Gorman has wrote 2 good books (maybe more ?) on DW
: Oracle8 Data Warehousing, Essential Oracle8i Data
Warehousing: Designing, Building, and Managing Oracle
Data Warehouses .
