I know we can do database extraction, but can we have a custom SQL  
statement as a source here? Do we have to manually do it via a SQL  
adapter then turn that into an enumerable?

Hi warehousers,

I am just getting started with ActiveWarehouse (and data warehousing in 
general).

The much heralded example tutorial:

http://anthonyeden.com/2006/12/20/activewarehouse-example-with-rails-svn-logs

Seems to be dead.

Does anybody have a copy of this, or perhaps could point me to another 
walkthrough?

I have a highly normalized medical record database that we use for HIV 
treatment in Malawi, Africa. (Malawi has 200 doctors and a million HIV+ 
people). It is all built in rails and uses the open source OpenMRS data 
model as its backend. The data model is great for inserts, but very slow 
for data retrieval. This seems like a classic data warehousing scenario 
- but I need some suggestions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I'm currently abroad and have had difficulty finding a good  
connection. Once I get back the states I'll get the tutorial up in  
github so anyone can grab a copy.
