"I enjoyed the first book because it was a collection of best practices, tips, tricks, and mini-guides. ... Reading this book, I was happy to find a wider representation of topics: brand new, forward-looking features like Hybrid Aggregation Mode; popular product offerings such as Exalytics and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition integrations; topics relevant to many existing implementations; and even a representation of partner products."
—Gabby Rubin, Senior Director, Product Management, Oracle Business Analytics
