Abstract
In the course of a major strategic planning exercise for a large municipal government, data warehousing emerged as a tactic for consolidating and sharing information among many City departments with different informational needs and a variety of computing platforms. In this paper, we describe processes and analytical methods for shaping a data warehousing strategy and for determining the contents of the data warehouse. We also present some cautionary conclusions about the development of monolithic data warehouses to serve an entire organization.

Because the truth is that relational database management systems aren’t very good at what they were supposed to do-help us get answers from their data-unless the authors ignore a good deal of relational dogma and use a new approach to data modeling when they’re building a decision support database.
