  • Denormalization Strategies for Data Retrieval from Data Warehouses
    Decision Support Systems 42 (2006) 267–282 www.elsevier.com/locate/dsw Denormalization strategies for data retrieval from data warehouses Seung Kyoon Shina,*, G. Lawrence Sandersb,1 aCollege of Business Administration, University of Rhode Island, 7 Lippitt Road, Kingston, RI 02881-0802, United States bDepartment of Management Science and Systems, School of Management, State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14260-4000, United States Available online 20 January 2005 Abstract In this study, the effects of denormalization on relational database system performance are discussed in the context of using denormalization strategies as a database design methodology for data warehouses. Four prevalent denormalization strategies have been identified and examined under various scenarios to illustrate the conditions where they are most effective. The relational algebra, query trees, and join cost function are used to examine the effect on the performance of relational systems. The guidelines and analysis provided are sufficiently general and they can be applicable to a variety of databases, in particular to data warehouse implementations, for decision support systems.

Data does not exist in isolation, it is created, managed and consumed by business processes, and those business processes are implemented using a variety of applications and technologies. To truly understand and manage our data, and the impact of changes to that data, we need to manage more than just models of data in databases. We need support for different types of data models, and for managing the relationships between data and the rest of the organization. When you need to manage a data center across the enterprise, integrating with a wider set of business and technology activities is critical to success. For this reason, this review will use the InformationArchitect version of Sybase PowerDesigner rather than their DataArchitect™ version.
