Rdb/VMS, developing the data warehouse

Describes techniques necessary to use DEC's Rdb technology to face the challenge of the '90s—how to store data to meet an organization's decision support needs and provide users with a common, simple, transparent access to information regardless of where it resides. Contains detailed discussions and analysis of major issues including why a split between operational and informational databases is necessary and how to accomplish it, the lack of data creditability, integration of DSS data and how Rdb technology fits with DSS needs.
