Data Warehousing: Basav Roychoudhury

Data warehousing involves storing historical data from operational systems in a centralized database to allow for analytical reporting and analysis. It addresses the mismatch between operational systems optimized for transactions (OLTP) and analytical systems requiring integrated historical data (OLAP). The ETL (extract, transform, load) process moves data from operational sources to the data warehouse schema, which uses dimensional modeling with facts and dimensions to structure data into cubes for analysis. Data marts can also be created from the data warehouse for specific business units or departments.

Data Warehouse
Why Data-Warehouse?
Online Transaction Processing
(OLTP)

• Operational Data –
• data that works
• needed for operations, operational data element
• frequent query on and update of data
• fragmented (normalized)
• local relevance – individual tuple
• Examples for OLTP Queries:
• What is the email id of Anita?
• What is the total sales by Satish this quarter?
• Who is heading the quality control department?
Online Analytical Processing
(OLAP)

• Historical Data
• data that tells
• overall trends
• infrequent updates
• integrated data set with global relevance
• Examples for OLAP Queries
• How is the profit changing over the years across different
subsidiaries?
• Is it financially viable continue the production unit at
location X?
