This paper challenges the currently popular "Data Warehouse is a Special Animal" philosophy and advocates that practitioners adopt a more conservative "Data Warehouse=Database" philosophy. The primary focus is the relevancy of Multi-Dimensional logical schemas. After enumerating the advantages of such schemas, a number of caveats to the presumed advantages are identified. The paper concludes with guidelines and commentary on implications for data warehouse design methodologies.
