Course description
Hands-on experience
This 4-day course gives you hands-on experience with Data Vault Modeling. The programme covers both the business and technical details of the Data Vault modeling architecture.
Certification exam
On the afternoon of day 4, you will have the option to take the Data Vault Certification Exam, which allows you to finish this course with a tangible result.
Business and technical perspective
The course starts with exploring the Data Vault modeling concepts from the business perspective: from why they exist and what needs they serve to their impact on the business. We discuss the benefits, issues and business applicability of using the Data Vault Data Modeling techniques. The technical part of the course covers topics such as Hubs, Links and Satellites along with loading and querying.
In-depth
We provide in-depth information around the do’s and don’ts (best practices) of Data Vaults. The primary purpose of this course is to prepare you for certification in Data Vault Modeling. We discuss the technical details of Data Vaults including business rules, delta detection, date stamping, staging, point-in-time tables and querying (converting data from the Vault into star schemas or report collections).
Target Audience
Enterprise Architects, Data Warehouse architects, designers, data modelers, data integration (e.g. ETL) consultants and developers, Business Intelligence Architects, Report Designers, Database Architects and Database administrators involved in data warehouse environments.
The class will move at a pace that assumes students are generally familiar with basic data warehousing concepts and have some education and experience in the field.
Students who have experience with the data vault will find the course very valuable to synchronize on best practices and to align understanding with the founder of the data vault.
