Far from being just a passing fad, data warehousing technology has grown much in scale and reputation in the past few years, as evidenced by the increasing number of products, vendors, organizations, and yes, even books, devoted to the subject. Enterprises that have successfully implemented data warehouses find it strategic and often wonder how they ever managed to survive without it in the past. Also Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) has emerged as a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that merges together databases, statistics, machine learning and related areas in order to extract valuable information and knowledge in large volumes of data.
