Regarding data warehouses, two TPC benchmarks are relevant: |
| + | * [[http://www.tpc.org/tpcds/|TPC-DS]], the Decision Support Benchmark, which models the decision support functions of a retail product supplier. | ||
| + | * [[http://www.tpc.org/tpcdi/|TPC-DI]], the Data Integration Support Benchmark, which models a typical ETL process that loads a data warehouse. | ||
| - | * Part I: Create a conceptual model and translate to a logical schema (deadline 15/11/2018) | + | The project of the course consist of 2 parts: |
| - | * Part II: (deadline 20/12/2018) | + | * Part I: Implement the TPC-DS benchmark (deadline 1/11/2018) |
| - | * Creating ETL scripts for updating the database in SSIS, | + | * Part II: Implement the TPC-DI benchmark (deadline 20/12/2018) |
| - | * Predicting how the size of the data warehouse will grow over time, | + | You will have free choice to use the tools on which the two benchmarks will be built. For example, the TPC-DS benchmark can be implemented on SQL Server Analysis Services, Pentaho Analysis Services (aka Mondrian), etc. Similarly, the TPC-DI could be implemented on SQL Server Integration Services, Pentaho Data Integration, Talend Data Studio, or even SQL scripts. |
| - | * Deploy a data cube on top of the data warehouse and create a report. | + | |
