What is a data warehouse?
A data warehouse holds integrated data from operational systems optimized for querying and reporting.
Analytical processing
Ingestion cleans and transforms data into shared dimensions and measures. Column storage and precomputed aggregates can accelerate large analytical queries.
Uses and limitations
It supports historical comparison and common definitions. Latency, cost and poorly defined metrics can distort decisions; reports should disclose data freshness.
