What is the difference between an ODS and a W/H?



What is the difference between an ODS and a W/H?..

Answer / tanmay kumar meher

An ODS is an environment that pulls together, validates,
cleanses and integrates data from disparate source
application systems. Thisbecomes the foundation for
providing the end-user community with an integrated view of
enterprise data to enable users anywhere in the
organisation to access information for strategic and/or
tactical decision support, day-to-day operations and
management reporting.

The defination of Data Warehouse is as follows.
? Subject-oriented, meaning that the data in the
database is organized so that all the data elements
relating to the same real-world event or object are linked
together;
? Time-variant, meaning that the changes to the data
in the database are tracked and recorded so that reports
can be produced showing changes over time;
? Non-volatile, meaning that data in the database is
never over-written or deleted, but retained for future
reporting;
? Integrated, meaning that the database contains data
from most or all of an organization's operational
applications, and that this data is made consistent.
