True, this is not a book that technologists are going to use to learn how to do dimensional modeling or build an ODS. It's also not a book that is filled ...             Data-Centric .NET Programming with C#5 reviews Jacob Hammer Pedersen, Kent Tegels, ... Peer Information Inc., 2001 Excellent. As the title implies a large portion of the book deals with data access.
