What is the difference between a data warehouse and a data mart?
Answer Posted / anonymous
data mart-A Data Mart is a specific, subject oriented,
repository of data designed to answer specific questions
for a specific set of users. So an organization could have
multiple data marts serving the needs of marketing, sales,
operations, collections, etc. A data mart usually is
organized as one dimensional model as a star-schema (OLAP
cube) made of a fact table and multiple dimension tables.
data warehouse-In contrast, a Data Warehouse (DW) is a
single organizational repository of enterprise wide data
across many or all subject areas. The Data Warehouse is the
authoritative repository of all the fact and dimension data
(that is also available in the data marts) at an atomic
level.
