Breaking news ... we are delighted to welcome Bill Inmon who will be an additional speaker on this event, co-author of the book.

We are delighted to have a preview of Francesco Puppini's forthcoming book with Bill Inmon: "Building the Unified Star Schema"!

The Data Vault Information Mart very often follows the Dimensional Modeling of Kimball. The main reason is that the star schema are very easy to use. But the Kimball approach has a big limitation: it does not say what to do when a query involves multiple fact tables. How do we merge two star schemas? It usually ends up with an "ad-hoc approach”, where a data analyst writes an SQL query, specific for a business requirement. But this means that the business users do not have full access to a proper experience of self-service analytics: for every new requirement they need to go through a data expert.

What if we could build a special data structure that involves all the required facts and dimensions, all connected together in a single star schema, easy to use, and always available for self-service analytics?

The webinar will consist of a presentation, a demo, and an interactive chat. And it will be the announcement of the upcoming book: “Building the Unified Star Schema”, written by Bill Inmon and Francesco Puppini.

This meeting will be conducted using Zoom and the details will be emailed a few days before the event.
