A friend of mine was interviewing for a data warehouse and Business Object role But he was asked about the Manhattan database?

I have Googled "Manhattan database" and even searched for it on Bing and Yahoo but have found no relevant information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps this? Manhattan Data Warehouse

Good find! dot dot dot (to appease S.O. minimum comment length. oh wait i passed the minimum several words ago.)

A: 

The closest thing may be Microsoft project Madison, which is an auto-scalable data-warehouse appliance. The interviewer may have mixed-up Manhattan with Madison (Square Garden) which happens to be located in Manhattan.

Or, maybe he/she did it on purpose to see how good was your friend at data cleaning and conforming. :)

Thanks! Gentlemen for all the responses.Just by reading Manhattan Data Warehouse project, I find it no different from Inmon CIF. Probably because any data warehouse design before DW2.0 is not copyrighted hence anyone can give it their own name. Cheers!
