What Is A Data Warehouse (DW)?

A Data Warehouse is a computing environment that collects data from a software system. The software system is the point of entry for the data. With a Data Warehouse, information is stored separately with the purpose of running advanced analytical applications and user queries. A Data Warehouse separates data used for business intelligence (BI) purposes from transactional data. This is a big difference that Data Warehouse has over other BI tools, because the data is segmented and static, as it is extracted and preserved outside of the transactional environment.

Data Warehouse For The Cloud

Historically, Data Warehouses required the company to be running their software in a server environment and then have a separate server to host their Data Warehouse. With recent changes in technology, Data Warehouse is able to be hosted in a cloud environment. In addition, retailers on a multi-tenancy cloud can use the new DW structure to pull data from their environment only.

What Is SQL?

Data Warehouse uses SQL as its technical language. SQL stands for Structured Query Language, a standard language for relational database management systems. SQL information is stored in tables. Tables are uniquely identified by their names and are comprised of columns and rows. The query is used to retrieve selected data that matches the criteria that you specify. Operators are added to queries to determine results. Retailers with SQL knowledge can write their own reports for Data Warehouse or STORIS SQL experts are available to write reports for you.
