Answer / jaya
datamart is something which consists of only one type of
data whereas datwarehouse consists of data of different
type.For example all the organisation data say data related
to finance department,HR,Banking dept are stored in
datawarehouse whereas in datamart say only finance data
will stored.So datawarehouse is a collection of different
datamarts.

Answer / anonymous
data mart-A Data Mart is a specific, subject oriented,
repository of data designed to answer specific questions
for a specific set of users. So an organization could have
multiple data marts serving the needs of marketing, sales,
operations, collections, etc. A data mart usually is
organized as one dimensional model as a star-schema (OLAP
cube) made of a fact table and multiple dimension tables.
data warehouse-In contrast, a Data Warehouse (DW) is a
single organizational repository of enterprise wide data
across many or all subject areas. The Data Warehouse is the
authoritative repository of all the fact and dimension data
(that is also available in the data marts) at an atomic
level.
