Locks & Latches: Quipu connections

Usefull for connecting to SQL Server Express using Quipu

• Locks & Latches: Quipu connections

I create a project on Google Code to gather all scripts, tables, utilities, documents, ... that I used and could be useful to other BI & DWH people.

You can download the very first release here:

• Stragittus_BI_Workbench_v0.1.zip

It contains the SQL DDL scripts as well as the data in CSV format to create 4 dimensions for a Data Warehouse or Data Mart:

• D_Country
• D_Currency
• D_Language
• D_MinuteInDay

It's a simple zip file with 4 folders, one for each table. Just go to the desired subfolder and use the .sql and/or the .txt file


Enjoy, and comments are welcome !

The data file is a semi-colon delimited file, with double-quotes as text-qualifier.
