Study Notes
Data Warehouse Architecture
- Based on a Relational database management system (RDBMS) server that functions as the central repository for informational data.
Key Components
- Operational data and processing are completely separate from data warehouse processing.
- The central repository is surrounded by components that make the environment functional, manageable, and accessible.
Data Sources
- Source data typically comes from operational applications or an operational data store (ODS).
Data Transformation
- Data is transformed into an integrated structure and format as it enters the data warehouse.
- Transformation process involves:
- Data conversion
- Summarization
- Filtering
- Data condensation
Data Characteristics
- Data within the data warehouse contains a large historical component, often spanning 5 to 10 years.
