SQL Saturday #442 in Orlando, FL has come and gone but what a turn out! The event was excellent, we had a great turnout for our session and had a blast! And as a bonus, the BBQ lunch, baked beans, coleslaw, mac n cheese and dessert were amazing. Seriously one of the best lunches I’ve had a SQL Saturday event! Plus, the Lego name tags were epic! 100% without a doubt the coolest name tag ever.

Thank you to everyone that attending my session this past weekend! I apologize for the lack of space but we had quite a turnout for our session. People were sitting in every aisle, piled up in the front, standing along the back walls and windows. You all had some really great questions and some very valid points. Because of you, our session ended up being a great discussion! Thank you so much!

Data Warehouse Design Resources

There’s two books that I highly recommend if you’re looking to learn the tenants of designing a perfect star schema data warehouse database. These books are excellent and should be in every data warehouse professional’s library, in my opinion!

	The Data Warehouse Toolkit: The Complete Guide to Dimensional Modeling
	Star Schema: The Complete Reference
