Data Warehousing
Data Warehouse is a special database that contains institutional and departmental data. Data warehousing has become an important technology even for small to mid-size companies for data analysis. One of the issues we encounter with data warehouses is performance, since we combine large amount of data from multiple data sources.
A Data Warehouse Is A Structured Repository of Historic Data. It Is Developed in an Evolutionary Process By Integrating Data From Non-integrated Legacy Systems.
It Is Usually:
- Subject Oriented
- Integrated

Development of a data warehouse includes development of systems to extract data from operating systems plus installation of a warehouse database system that provides managers flexible access to the data.
