Data Warehousing
- Serves as a central repository for reporting and data analysis.
- Integrates data from multiple sources.
- Stores current and historical data.
- Used for creating analytical reports for business intelligence activities.
- Primary goal is to support decision making.
Data Warehouse
- A large, centralized repository that integrates data from various sources.
- Designed for complex queries, analytics, and reporting processes.
- Contains vast amounts of historical data, facilitating trend analysis, forecasting, and business intelligence.
- Key characteristics include:
- Subject-oriented: Organizes data around key business subjects, making it easier to access relevant information.
- Integrated: Combines data from different sources into a coherent format, ensuring consistency.
- Time-variant: Stores historical data to provide a time-based perspective for analysis.
- Non-volatile: Once data enters the warehouse, it is not frequently modified or deleted, preserving data integrity.
Data Marts
- A smaller, more focused subset of a data warehouse.
- Caters to the specific needs of a particular department or business unit.
- Designed for more specialized analytical processing.
- Types:
- Dependent Data Marts: Sourced directly from a centralized data warehouse.
- Independent Data Marts: Created without relying on a central data warehouse, gathering data from operational systems or external sources.
- Advantages:
- Quicker access to relevant data for a specific department.
- Easier and faster implementation compared to full-scale data warehouses.
- Disadvantages:
- Potential for data inconsistency if not integrated with a central warehouse.
- Limited scope of data, making cross-departmental analysis more challenging.
