Brand new to Datawarehouse and Data Mining.

Looking for good book and paper suggestions as where to start.

We are going to start small and grow it.

We want to be able to do What if scenarios eventually so I know that I will need to build cubes and star schemas.

Users will need reports that can take parameters ... I personally hate Crystal, have used Oracle Reports and Discoverer but wonder about Cognos and Brio tools. We have Oracle Apps so we do have licenses already for Discovery and Oracle Reports...

Tips on ETL tools would help although I think we are going to use Rhapsody because we have it already but we are open

Anyway, any suggestions, tips, food for thought would help. This is a healthcare application.

I don't see users being able to do their own adhoc reports at this time but it is certaininly a possibility 1 year or so down the road.

Thanks so much ..
