Thread: Data Warehousing

Hi,

I'd like to learn about Data Warehousing - using PostgreSQL of course.
I've been looking around for some good starting info. on this subject 
without
a lot of joy so I'd like to ask if anyone could point me to a good 
starting off doco. or tutorial.

I have found some data out there but what I have found has been pretty 
abstract and refers to
propriety software of which I'm not interested.

Any help here would be sensational.
Many thanks.

Best regards
Rudi.

Well, I really recommend reading the classic from Kimball first:
The Data Warehouse Toolkit

(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471200247/qid=1058369223/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-9522807-8010345?v=glance&s=books)
As I come from an Oracle Background, I do not yet know where to get good 
Postgres-specific DWH knowledge.
