Outline Data Warehousing What is a data warehouse? Why a warehouse? Models & operations Implementing a warehouse 2 What is a Warehouse? Collection of diverse data subject oriented aimed at executive, decision maker often a copy of operational data with value-added data (e.g., summaries, history) integrated time-varying non-volatile What is a Warehouse? Collection of tools gathering data cleansing, integrating,... querying, reporting, analysis data mining monitoring, administering warehouse more 3 4
Warehouse Architecture Motivating Examples Metadata Query & Analysis Warehouse Forecasting Comparing performance of units Monitoring, detecting fraud Visualization Integration Source Source Source 5 6 Why a Warehouse? Query-Driven Approach Two Approaches: Query-Driven (Lazy) Warehouse (Eager)? Mediator Wrapper Wrapper Wrapper Source Source Source Source Source 7 8
Advantages of Warehousing Advantages of Query-Driven High query performance Queries not visible outside warehouse Local processing at sources unaffected Can operate when sources unavailable Can query data not stored in a DBMS Extra information at warehouse Modify, summarize (store aggregates) Add historical information No need to copy data less storage no need to purchase data More up-to-date data Query needs can be unknown Only query interface needed at sources May be less draining on sources 9 1 OLTP vs. OLAP OLTP vs. OLAP OLTP: On Line Transaction Processing Describes processing at operational sites OLAP: On Line Analytical Processing Describes processing at warehouse OLTP Mostly updates Many small transactions Mb-Tb of data Raw data Clerical users Up-to-date data Consistency, recoverability critical OLAP Mostly reads Queries long, complex Gb-Tb of data Summarized, consolidated data Decision-makers, analysts as users 11 12

Managing Metadata Metadata Warehouse Design Tools Metadata Query & Analysis Warehouse Administrative definition of sources, tools,... schemas, dimension hierarchies, rules for extraction, cleaning, refresh, purging policies user profiles, access control,... Integration Source Source Source 61 62 Metadata Design Business business terms & definition data ownership, charging Operational data lineage data currency (e.g., active, archived, purged) use stats, error reports, audit trails What data is needed? Where does it come from? How to clean data? How to represent in warehouse (schema)? What to summarize? What to materialize? What to index? 63 64
Tools Current State of Industry Development design & edit: schemas, views, scripts, rules, queries, reports Planning & Analysis what-if scenarios (schema changes, refresh rates), capacity planning Warehouse Management performance monitoring, usage patterns, exception reporting System & Network Management measure traffic (sources, warehouse, clients) Workflow Management reliable scripts for cleaning & analyzing data Extraction and integration done off-line Usually in large, time-consuming, batches Everything copied at warehouse Not selective about what is stored Query benefit vs storage & update cost Query optimization aimed at OLTP High throughput instead of fast response Process whole query before displaying anything 65 66 Future Directions Better performance Larger warehouses Easier to use 67
