Course Content

This course has been written to cover all the fundamentals of designing and building data warehouses and cubes using SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS), and building high performance data integration solutions with SQL Server Integration Services, including extraction, transformation, and load (ETL) packages for data warehousing.

Our course demonstrates how to build star schemas in SQL Server and cubes in Analysis Services. In addition, it shows how to use Integration Services to migrate and transform data. This is applied to populating and updating OLAP star schemas and cubes from traditional normalised databases.

Available as a public or closed course at our London training centre, delivered on-site as a bespoke, customised training course.

This course has been developed for real-world, commercial scenarios by our expert instructors. See below for detailed syllabus. If you have a technical question, please email
