It was not my intention to steal your work but to put together
everything that was produced so far. I tried to put in the links
section, references to all documents I have consulted so far. I thought
this was a collective work and therefore did not ask for specific credit
for everyone that participated on the mailing list. As you can also
notice, I did not claim any credit nor put my name on the wiki page. I
am just trying to help the community.
If you think that every contribution should acknowledge its original
author, I can add a bibliography and put references but this will make
the page harder to maintain.
Regarding the current syntax, it is not just a copy paste of Oracle but
a merge between Oracle and MySQL. I have not looked yet at other
products being new to the datawarehouse world. As I mentioned there is
still a lot of work to do and I will try to integrate feedback as we go.
Best regards,
Emmanuel
