Operational Data Store

The operational data store (ODS) is used for tactical decision making, whereas
the data warehouse supports strategic decisions. It has some characteristics
that are similar to those of the data warehouse but is dramatically different in
other aspects:
■■ It is subject oriented like a data warehouse.
■■ Its data is fully integrated like a data warehouse Its data is current—or as
current as technology will allow. This is a significant difference from the
historical nature of the data warehouse. The ODS
has minimal history and shows the state of the entity as close to real time
as feasible.
■■ Its data is volatile or updatable. This too is a significant departure from
the static data warehouse. The ODS is like a transaction-processing system
in that, when new data flows into the ODS, the fields affected are overwritten
or updated with the new information. Other than an audit trail,
no history of the previous contents is retained.
■■ Its data is almost entirely detailed with a small amount of dynamic
aggregation or summarization. The ODS is most often designed to contain the
transaction-level data, that is, the lowest level of detail for the subject area
