I've been bodging my way though setting up a database to hold summary info
for 11 million assets with various look-up tables around it, the whole to be
refreshed weekly. Its not that big - around 15Gb, it doesn't have a
timestamp as the partition key and it does not contain transaction info, but
when I look at the Oracle DW documentation, lo-and-behold - many of the
concepts and techniques apply - bitmap indexes, partitioning, 'fact' and
'dimension' tables, ETT, etc. 'A rose by any other name would smell as
sweet'
