TDWI's Data Modeling course provides data modelers with techniques for developing sustainable normalized and dimensional data warehouse and data mart models on relational DBMS platforms. The course pursues a top-down approach, which begins with a business view that depicts the major subject areas and domains of the enterprise. The models at this level are then transformed into logical models, and finally into physical models.
