DBA 4: Analyzing Data
In this course, you will learn how to take your relational data warehouse to the next level using Mondrian and JPivot, two tools for multidimensional data analysis.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate the basics of MDX, the query language of data warehouses.
- Analyze and extrapolate business models through data modeling.
- Write a schema for Mondrian—the XML document that bridges the relational and multidimensional worlds.
From beginning to end, you will learn by doing Unix and MySQL-based projects and submitting them for instructor feedback. These projects, as well as the final project, will add to your portfolio and contribute to certificate completion. Besides a browser and Internet connection, all software is provided online by the O’Reilly School of Technology.
This course counts toward the Database Administration Certificate.
Prerequisites: DBA 3: Creating a Data Warehouse, or equivalent skills. This course is meant for the intermediate or advanced database administrator.
