I have always been bugged and intrigued by Kimball and Inmon methods of Data Warehouse. Some questions that always used to bother me was:
What is the Kimball Method?
How is Inmon's Datawarehouse different from Kimball's?
Which model am I working on? Strangely I did not knew this, except for the fact that it was a Dimensional Model.
I could find a plethora of articles on web. But this one by Mary Breslin is the best. "Data Warehousing Battle of the Giants: Comparing the Basics of the Kimball and Inmon Models". The article explains both the methods, does a fair analysis and comparison and also suggest which approach is best in a given scenario.
I could also find a link to the Presentation for the same article. You can download the PDF here.
