Data Warehousing & Data Mining

Data Warehousing & Data Mining

Collections of databases that work together are called data warehouses. This makes it possible to integrate data from multiple databases. Data mining is used to help individuals and organizations make better decisions.

Data Warehousing: In a typical setting, the database files reside on the server, but they can be accessed from many different computers in the organization. As the number and complexity of databases grows, we start referring to them together as a data warehouse. A data warehouse is a collection of databases that work together. A data warehouse makes it possible to integrate data from multiple databases, which can give new insights into the data.

Data Mining: Once all the data is stored and organized in databases, what's next? Many day-to-day operations are supported by databases. Queries based on SQL, a database programming language, are used to answer basic questions about data. But, as the collection of data grows in a database, the amount of data can easily become overwhelming. How does an Organization gets the most out of its data in the details? That’s where Data Mining comes in. Data Mining is a Process of analyzing data and summarizing it to produce useful information.
