Types of Warehousing Solutions

• Operational Data Store


– integrated, current, detailed data for operational
activities
• Central Data Warehouse
– integrated, historic, summary and detailed data for
company-wide data analysis
• Data Mart
– independent, historic, summary data for a small group
of business users analyzing a specific business process

ETL Process
• Extraction:
– The extraction process is a process of replicating by selecting
from one or more source databases
• Transformation:
– After data is extracted, business rules, such as filtering,
summarizing, merging, transposing, or derivations, should be
applied to the extracted data
• Cleansing:
– The cleansing function determines what values violate the
business rules and either rejects or transforms them to “cleanse”
the data, brining it into compliance warehouse
• Loading:
– After cleansing the data, this process loads the transformed
records into the enterprise data warehouse
