| + | |||
| + | The assignment consist of 2 parts: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Part I: Create a conceptual model and translate to a logical schema (deadline 15/11/2018) | ||
| + | * Part II: (deadline 20/12/2018) | ||
| + | * Creating ETL scripts for updating the database in SSIS, | ||
| + | * Predicting how the size of the data warehouse will grow over time, | ||
| + | * Deploy a data cube on top of the data warehouse and create a report. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Assignment part I will be available on 25/10. For the next parts, assignment II will become available right after the submission deadline of assignment part I. The submission deadlines for parts I and II are strict. | ||

| + | The assignment evaluation will count for 30% of your total grade.
