Tryst with Warehousing

I have been working on IBM Infosphere Warehouse 9.5 for some time now.
Let me admit that I struggled to start with this as I didn't have any official training with Warehouse all I knew about it from my one semester course in Warehouse which I studied during my MCA class and a very senior professor took the class and I was hooked to this subject however I had no idea one day I would be working on it.
I think Its a cool technology and one of the most sought after IT field as actionable information is key to have a competitive edge for any organization.
I have to say I don't find too many contents on internet particularly on IBM DWH.However redbooks and some article on developerworks are quite good it still won't help you much if you r a fresher in DWH.
I remember in college I read Paul raj Poonia book which was quite good in theory but as for the hands-on you need something more to be able to work on it.
I hope I could enhance my skill on working with DWH even without training, but it requires a lot of work.
I m ready to roll up my sleeves and lay my hands dirty!

hugs,
Rakesh

Rambling about DB2

This is my personal Diary about DB2 and I intend this to be a reference point abt what I did about a particular situation in managing Data.
I don't want to write a very authentic or original articles on DB2. For that we have plenty of websites and blogs out there.
I am relatively new to DB2 and the database for that matter.It just happened in my previous organization where my employer asked me to learn about DB2 and then I didn't knew that I would take it seriously.But Now as it happens all I know whatever about IT, is limited to database and DB2.
