Dennis - Bill Inmon is the patron saint of the ODS people. Pretty much equal industry status with Ralph. Claims the title of "The Father of Data Warehousing" (right there on his site). Start with his Web site at http://www.billinmon.com/. His articles are published on DB Review magazine, http://www.dmreview.com/. Enjoy.

Greetings -
I need some help with building an Operational Data Store. I know there are a lot of confusion in ODS vs. DW but I belong to the camp of 'ODS should be used only for operational reporting, not decision support'. So while Kimball talks a lot about building a DW in his books, he does not cover ODS much. Are there any books/websites/third parties that deal with building an ODS? TIA Dennis Meng
