Answer Posted / manoj pandey
1. Database: primarily is a collection of Tables that are normalized upto 3-NF and can be interrelated by FKs. It is an OLTP system which is meant for storing data of Information systems, like a CRM, ERP, Company/College/School record management system, and similar Data Entry other tools.
2. Data Warehouse: DW or EDW (Enterprise DW) is a system created by combining more than one Database systems, and/or by getting data from different Sources like heterogeneous Databases, flat-files, data feeds, etc. The tables in this system are de-normalized like in 1-NF, so that all related information is in a single table. Is is an OLAP system which is meant mainly for Reporting.
3. Data Mart: are built on top of a Data Warehouse, either by creating Views from underlying tables or a CUBE from fact & dimension tables.
