for operational systems and for data warehouses?

Operational systems maintain records of daily business transactions.

repository of company data, for reporting and decision support
purpose. In other words the data warehouse is where we get the
data out.

define precisely what information theyreally want from the data
warehouse, nor can they express how they would like to usethe
information or process it
