I would like to thank my two co-workers, Anitha Kadaru and Yasodarani Venkatesan, who were kind enough to review this book. With their wealth of knowledge of data warehousing and Business Intelligence, they provided invaluable comments that helped me keep the book on track. I'd like to thank David Allan of the Oracle Warehouse Builder development team at Oracle for putting up with my numerous questions and requests for clarification about various aspects of the software. Lastly and most importantly, I'd like to thank my wife Lynn and children Robby, Melanie, Hilary, Christina, Millie, and Mikey for doing without a husband and dad for major periods of time over the last year, while I worked on this book. Your understanding and support has been a big help!
