What is Data Warehouse ?
A data warehouse is a copy of transaction data specifically structured for query and analysis.
It usually contains historical data derived from transnational data.
It separates analysis workload from transaction workload and enables an organisation to consolidate data from several sources.
Characteristics of Data Warehouse
Subject Oriented
Integrated
Time-Variant
Non-Volatile
Subject Oriented
Examples :
1) Banking transactions where transaction amount is the subject
2) Health care(Medicare) transactions where claims is the subject
3) Education where student transactions like marks are the subject.
Integrated
A data warehouse integrates data from multiple data sources.
i.e., Data can be gathered from different sources and integrate/merge into single stack.
For instance : In Banking domain a transaction can be identified by two sources. Say, transaction type and transaction channel. Transactions can be integrated with these two sources.
Time variant :
Historical data is stored in data warehouse.
For instance :
In Banking domain using DWH one can retrieve 1 month old data, 2 month old data or 6 months or 2 years or even older data.
In Banking domain using OLTP one can retrieve often the most recent data.
Example : In OLTP , a transaction can hold most recent location of a customer whereas in DWH all old addresses of customer can be stored.
Non-volatile:
Once data is in the data warehouse, it will not change. So, historical data in a data warehouse should never be altered.
