What is Data Warehousing?
Subject-Oriented
Integrated
Time-variant
Non-volatile
Subject-Oriented
Organized around major subjects like customers, products and sales.
Rather than concentrating on the day-to-day operations and transaction
processing of an organization, it focuses on the Modeling and Analysis of
data for decision makers.
It typically provide a simple and concise view of particular subject issues
by excluding data that are not useful in the decision support process.
For example, to learn more about your company's sales data, you can
build a data warehouse that concentrates on sales. Using this data
warehouse, you can answer questions such as "Who was our best
customer for this item last year?" or "Who is likely to be our best customer
next year?" This ability to define a data warehouse by subject matter, sales
in this case, makes the data warehouse subject oriented.
Integrated
Non-volatile
Once entered into the data warehouse, data should not change.
Purpose: to enable you to analyze what has occurred.
Data warehouse backend process
Data extractions- which gathers data from multiple heterogeneous
and external sources.
Data cleaning- which detects errors in the data and rectifies them
when possible.
Data transformation- which converts data from Legacy or host
format to warehouse format.
Load- which sorts, summarizes, consolidates, computes, views,
checks integrity and build indices and partitions.
Refresh- which propagates the updates from the data sources to
the warehouse.
