 Bill Inmon Alin first coined data Warehouse in 1990. According to him, a data
warehouse Is a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant, and non-volatile collection of
data. Data warehouse is kept separate from organization operational database and it
can be said that a data warehouse is a more extensive form of DBMS data.

Key Points

 There is no requirement for frequent updating of data on the warehouse.

 These data help analysts to make informed decisions in an organization.
 Data warehouses provide generalized and combined data in a multidimensional view
 Data warehouse also provides us with online analytical processing(OLAP) tools Which help in
interactive and effective analysis.

Characteristics of Data warehouse

 Subject-oriented
 Non-volatile
 Integrated
 Time variant
