A data warehouse is a single store of integrated data from multiple sources organized specifically to support management decision making. It allows users to understand data over time through historical analysis and "what-if" scenario modeling. A data warehouse transforms raw data into usable business information by extracting, cleaning, consolidating data from operational systems and other sources into a separate database optimized for analysis.

Performance

ASET

Op dbs designed & tuned for known txs & workloads. Complex OLAP queries would degrade perf. for op txs. Special data organization, access & implementation methods needed for multidimensional views & queries. Function Missing data: Decision support requires historical data, which op dbs do not typically maintain. Data consolidation: Decision support requires consolidation (aggregation, summarization) of data from many heterogeneous sources: op dbs, external sources. Data quality: Different sources typically use inconsistent data representations, codes, and formats which have to be reconciled.
