2. Introduction to Data Warehousing Definition of Data Warehousing Significance in Data Management Overview of Warehouse, Cube, OLAP, and Architecture ‹#› Objective

3. Introduction to Data Warehousing Data warehouses are central repositories for large volumes of data. They provide historical data for decision support and analysis. Data warehousing plays a crucial role in facilitating data-driven decision-making. ‹#› Data Warehouse Concept

4. Introduction to Data Warehousing Components of a data warehouse include data sources, ETL processes, the data warehouse itself, and OLAP cubes. Each component has a specific role in the data warehousing ecosystem. Together, these components enable efficient data storage, transformation, and analysis. ‹#› Data Warehouse Components

5. Introduction to Data Warehousing OLAP stands for Online Analytical Processing. OLAP systems enable multidimensional analysis of data. Types of OLAP include MOLAP, ROLAP, and HOLAP. OLAP is instrumental in supporting complex data analysis tasks. ‹#› OLAP (Online Analytical Processing)

6. Introduction to Data Warehousing Data warehouse architecture consists of three key layers: data sources, the data warehouse itself, and the front-end reporting and analysis tools. Each layer serves a distinct purpose in the data warehousing process. This architecture facilitates data extraction, transformation, loading, and user access. ‹#› Data Warehouse Architecture
