Difference between ODS and Staging

Answer Posted / harshad

An operational data store (ODS) is a type of database often
used as an interim area for a data warehouse. Unlike a data
warehouse, which contains static data, the contents of the
ODS are updated through the course of business operations.
An ODS is designed to quickly perform relatively simple
queries on small amounts of data (such as finding the
status of a customer order), rather than the complex
queries on large amounts of data typical of the data
warehouse. An ODS is similar to your short term memory in
that it stores only very recent information; in comparison,
the data warehouse is more like long term memory in that it
stores relatively permanent information.

But in staging we are storing current as well as historic
data. This data might be a raw and then need cleansing and
transform before load into datawarehouse.
