What is staging area?

Answer Posted / harish

Its an intermidiate stage where data is put before its put
into the Datawarehouse database.It is also called
Operational Data Source(ODS).If a report is needed very
urgently though its not a nice one to have then we can
generate from the staging area or ODS.

Ex: if i am so hungry that i cannot wait until my food is
cooked i can have it though it does not taste good.but
because i am too hungry i would not mind that taste.later
once its cooked i can enjoy it much better.


that was just to give an understanding of the concept.

any one please correct me if i am wrong.
Regards,
HARISH.
