[dba-SQLServer] Hello Again

Hi Mark:

Welcome back.  I am hoping to make a similiar transition as you did (going 
from OLTP to data warehousing).  Do you have any recommendations for someone 
hoping to make the same transition? 99% of my work experience comes from 
OLTP; not sure how that can help me look for a job in the DW world.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  I am currently going through a few books I 
bought on DW and data mining.  Some of the DW books I read (published in 
late 90s) I am not sure if the DW principles are still relevant today since 
the introduction chapter would say something about how the DW market is 
still maturing (eg. the last paragraph of the introduction chapter in a book 
called "the data warehouse toolkit").

Billy
