Staging can be, but this remains in the eyes of the namer, a denormalized structure tuned for query i. ODS Database is for connecting transaction databases. Example for this is Internet banking where an amount is transferred from one bank to another bank. Here the needed data will be sent to the ODS and manipulations are done and the result is sent back to the transaction database. Staging database can be used for connecting any type of database.

An ODS is designed to quickly perform relatively simple queries on small amounts of data such as finding the status of a customer order , rather than the complex queries on large amounts of data typical of the data warehouse. An ODS is similar to your short term memory in that it stores only very recent information; in comparison, the data warehouse is more like long term memory in that it stores relatively permanent information. But in staging we are storing current as well as historic data. This data might be a raw and then need cleansing and transform before load into datawarehouse.
ODS means operational data store which supports operational monitoring,data is volatile,current,detailed,subjectoriented and integrated. It is designed for query and analysis rather than for transaction processing, and usually contains historical data derived from transaction data, but can include data from other sources. Data warehouses separate analysis workload from transaction workload and enable an organization to consolidate data from several sources.
This helps in:. In addition to a relational database, a data warehouse environment can include an extraction, transportation, transformation, and loading ETL solution, statistical analysis, reporting, data mining capabilities, client analysis tools, and other applications that manage the process of gathering data, transforming it into useful, actionable information, and delivering it to business users. To achieve the goal of enhanced business intelligence, the data warehouse works with data collected from multiple sources.
The source data may come from internally developed systems, purchased applications, third-party data syndicators and other sources. It may involve transactions, production, marketing, human resources and more. In today's world of big data, the data may be many billions of individual clicks on web sites or the massive data streams from sensors built into complex machinery.
Data warehouses are distinct from online transaction processing OLTP systems. With a data warehouse you separate analysis workload from transaction workload. Thus data warehouses are very much read-oriented systems. They have a far higher amount of data reading versus writing and updating. This enables far better analytical performance and avoids impacting your transaction systems. A data warehouse system can be optimized to consolidate data from many sources to achieve a key goal: it becomes your organization's "single source of truth".
There is great value in having a consistent source of data that all users can look to; it prevents many disputes and enhances decision-making efficiency. A data warehouse usually stores many months or years of data to support historical analysis. The data in a data warehouse is typically loaded through an extraction, transformation, and loading ETL process from multiple data sources. Modern data warehouses are moving toward an extract, load, transformation ELT architecture in which all or most data transformation is performed on the database that hosts the data warehouse.
It is important to note that defining the ETL process is a very large part of the design effort of a data warehouse. Similarly, the speed and reliability of ETL operations are the foundation of the data warehouse once it is up and running. Users of the data warehouse perform data analyses that are often time-related. Examples include consolidation of last year's sales figures, inventory analysis, and profit by product and by customer.
But time-focused or not, users want to "slice and dice" their data however they see fit and a well-designed data warehouse will be flexible enough to meet those demands.
Users will sometimes need highly aggregated data, and other times they will need to drill down to details. More sophisticated analyses include trend analyses and data mining, which use existing data to forecast trends or predict futures.
The data warehouse acts as the underlying engine used by middleware business intelligence environments that serve reports, dashboards and other interfaces to end users. Although the discussion above has focused on the term "data warehouse", there are two other important terms that need to be mentioned. These are the data mart and the operation data store ODS. A data mart serves the same role as a data warehouse, but it is intentionally limited in scope.
It may serve one particular department or line of business. The advantage of a data mart versus a data warehouse is that it can be created much faster due to its limited coverage. However, data marts also create problems with inconsistency. It takes tight discipline to keep data and calculation definitions consistent across data marts.
This problem has been widely recognized, so data marts exist in two styles. Independent data marts are those which are fed directly from source data. They can turn into islands of inconsistent information. Dependent data marts are fed from an existing data warehouse. Dependent data marts can avoid the problems of inconsistency, but they require that an enterprise-level data warehouse already exist.
Operational data stores exist to support daily operations. The ODS data is cleaned and validated, but it is not historically deep: it may be just the data for the current day. Rather than support the historically rich queries that a data warehouse can handle, the ODS gives data warehouses a place to get access to the most current data, which has not yet been loaded into the data warehouse. The ODS may also be used as a source to load the data warehouse.
As data warehousing loading techniques have become more advanced, data warehouses may have less need for ODS as a source for loading data.
