ejppoornimaDifference between data warehouse and an operational database When we go though the data warehouse and operational database
we can identify number of differences. We can define those differences as follows, Operational database Stored with a functional or process orientation Data warehouse Stored with a subject orientation
In operational database data are stored with a functional or process orientation. But when we move to the data warehouse we can identify that data are stored with subject orientation that facilitates multiple views for data and decision making. Operational database Different representation or meanings Data warehouse Unified view of all data elements with a common definition and representation
Data warehouse concepts it unified view of all data elements with a common definition and representation. In operational database similar data are allowed different representations Operational database Represent current transactions Data warehouse Historic in natural
Data are historic in nature in data warehouse. Here a dimension is added to facilitate data analysis and time corporations. In operational database data represent in current transactions. So there is a big difference in this perspective Operational database Update and delete Data warehouse Add only periodically from operational system
In data warehouse data are changed. But here data only added periodical from operational systems. But when we turn our eyes to the operational database perspective we can recognize that data update and deleted are really common in operational database.
