Overview
A data warehouse (DWH) is a database used for reporting and data analysis. It is a central repository of data which is created by integrating data from one or more disparate sources. Data warehouses store current as well as historical data and are used for creating trending reports for senior management reporting such as annual and quarterly comparisons. Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) is an approach to answering multi-dimensional analytical queries swiftly. OLAP is part of the broader category of business intelligence, which also encompasses relational database, report writing and data mining. This training walks you through the typical Business Intelligence project and helps you to understand the elements and architecture of a DWH and the usage scenarios for OLAP.
