sql server data warehouse:
I wish to know what is the solution from Microsoft to developing all stages of Data Warehouses on Microsoft platform

Is there a single book available for study/reference covering the above question

I would read on data warehouses in BOL first. Then if you are interested in
OLAP cubes, get the Reed Jacobson book, Analysis services step by step.

Thanks Ray for the information. As regards to data warehouse development - in general - I'm aware (theoritically) of all the stages & related issues. However, I understand that Microsoft solution for data warehouse has got a future and I, as a software professional, wish to specialize in this area of Microsoft. Therefore, I wish to know if I can get a book to study the said Microsoft solution, or is there any other way of learning about it ? What is data warehouses in BOL as said by you ? Thanks a lot once again
