Data Warehouse
What Exactly is a Data Warehouse? Core Definition and Purpose
A data warehouse is a specialized system designed for reporting and data analysis, not day-to-day transactions. It stores vast amounts of structured and semi-structured data in a schema optimized for fast reads—typically using star or snowflake schemas.
Key Characteristics of a Data Warehouse:
Subject-Oriented: Focused on business areas like sales, marketing, or finance.
Integrated: Combines data from disparate sources into a unified format.
Time-Variant: Stores historical data for trend analysis over time.
Non-Volatile: Once loaded, data remains stable for reliable reporting.
Unlike OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) systems that power apps and websites, OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) in data warehouses supports complex queries across billions of rows in seconds.
