QUESTION POSED ON: 16 August 2007
I want to learn the BW and SEM modules. I was told that they are related to one another. Is it alright to learn SEM first, followed by BW or does the order not matter?

EXPERT RESPONSE
SEM has a mini small BW built-in but it is not BW. If you are looking for data warehousing or data mining, BW is the one.
