Dennis,
I have on my desk, all in varying stages of being read:
Inmon&#x
I have NOT read his articles. Nor have I gotten all THAT far into the
book
however, the prep work I did before starting his book (reading the
Oracle docs, reading some Kimball articles, searching the web) may be
the reason I find him readable.
Of course, it could just be that I am smarter than a
Jared - Hmmm. . . if Rachel finds him very readable, does that mean:
a) she will shortly explain Inmon to the rest of us dumb DBAs.
b) she will become incomprehensible to the rest of us.
Sorry Rachel, couldn't resist. Actually, I am hoping for option A.
