Mark, My suggestion would be to first understand the fundamentals of data warehousing, then the Oracle pieces will fall into place. If you start off chasing Oracle ideas, I think you'll just become confused. The masters of this area are Ralph Kimball (www.ralphkimball.com<http://www.ralphkimball.com>) and Bill Inmon (www.billinmon.com <http://www.billinmon.com>). I had the pleasure of attending a seminar by Tim Gorman recently and was very pleased. He does a nice job of tying the basics of DW to specific Oracle features ( http://www.evdbt.com/). Maybe you can entice him to present his seminar on the other side of the world (NZ).
