  • I think what you're looking for is Analysis Services, included in SQL Server. You still need to design / build your database, but that's a relatively simple step. (Data warehouses are fundamentally very similair).

    SSIS (Integration Services) is a fast way to actually load the data. In particular, focus on the slowing changing dimension tasks, since they allow you to incrementally up-date the tables. A useful capabilty.

  • Are you looking for a tool to build data warehouse or report or ETL process?

    Data warehouse includes a lot of things.

  • what i meant like this, this tool should do the following:

    1-create the database for the data WH.

    2-ETL procedures.

    3-job to transfair the data from the source to the WH.

  • There are a lot of BI tools for example Hyperion (Oracle bought it a few months ago), Cognos, Business Objects (SAP was talking to buy it.) and many others.

  • but would it create the WH design like a snowflack structure or star.

  • Each one has its own special structure. You have to talk to the company to find it out.
