My last post, on 8\/7\/2005 marked the starting week of a new &#8220;Paris&#8221; DW project that has kept me VERY busy (almost too busy).  I&#8217;ve been queuing up several articles that just need the proper amount of time to take screenshots and write up&#8230;  Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve got skeletons for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CDC Expert for 10gR2: I&#8217;ve built an Expert that generates a Change Data Capture set of OWB objects (tables and mappings).  I&#8217;ll release it publicly as soon as the preview release &#8220;hits the shelves&#8221; but ahead of that I can post some screenshots, etc.<\/li>\n<li>OWB 10gR2 Transportable Modules: Using Data Pump and Transportable tablespaces one can do ETL at the speed of &#8220;copy&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>OWB 10gR2 Real Time Data Warehousing: I had a customer wanting to do some &#8220;message based&#8221; integration with their BI system so I have some screen shots from a demo I did for them.<\/li>\n<li>OWB 10gR2 What the Heck?: There some gotchas that could potentially break your OMB scripts, cause some of your perfectly valid 10gR1 operators to become invalid, etc.  I&#8217;ll just post some of the gotchas I&#8217;ve found <\/li>\n<li>Code Generation for Data Warehousing:  I&#8217;ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and think there&#8217;s more opportunity here then most people think.  I recently had a customer drop a spreadsheet with 300+ &#8220;master table&#8221; fields in front of me and asked what it would look like in a proper reporting (ie, Dimensional) model.  I used OMB to generate 32 Dimensions (levels, keys, scd types, attributes) 8 cubes and all their corresponding measures and FKs in about a day.  There&#8217;s opportunity to do more here&#8230; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Email me and let me know if you&#8217;d like to put a request a particular article&#8230;   And check out the rittman.net article on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rittman.net\/archives\/001339.html\">Data Profiling<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My start page is my blog&#8230; Every time that Firefox launches there&#8217;s the bayon blog either a) verifying that it&#8217;s still up, I&#8217;ve paid my domain fees, my ISP hasn&#8217;t crashed, and that everything is 5&#215;5 -OR- b) I haven&#8217;t posted anything of any consequence lately, my google page rank is lower, and overall I&#8217;ll [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nicholasgoodman.com\/bt\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nicholasgoodman.com\/bt\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nicholasgoodman.com\/bt\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nicholasgoodman.com\/bt\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nicholasgoodman.com\/bt\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.nicholasgoodman.com\/bt\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nicholasgoodman.com\/bt\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nicholasgoodman.com\/bt\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nicholasgoodman.com\/bt\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
