Hello,
Is it possible to find a book about ETL datastage and datawarehousing ?
I think it will very useful to have a compilation of the best practices with datastage.

No such thing. However, Kimball & Caserta have a book out called The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit and it's the next best thing.

So far no one has ever tried. It is desperately needed.
Kind regards

I wouldnt say desperately. The DS help documents are help files. Gather them together in a nice binder, cover it up on in a nice covering and viola, theres your book.

It was tried. It was killed by Ascential's legal department.
