6. Operational vs. Informational Systems Most of the advances in end-user programming have run into difficulty in actually accessing data that exists in backbone, operational data bases. Operational data bases have a very, very long life. Large operational systems are converted from one technology to a more advanced one very infrequently (typically every eight to twenty years). Therefore, why not create specific DBs whose role was to make large scale end user access easy to isolate the operational DBs, i.e. a Data Warehouse

16. Virtual Date Warehouse A Virtual Data Warehouse approach is often chosen when there are infrequent demands for data and management wants to determine if/how users will use operational data. One of the weaknesses of a Virtual Data Warehouse approach is that user queries a made against operational DBs. One way to minimize this problem is to build a “Query Monitor” to check the performance characteristics of a query before executing it.

17. A Coarse Data Warehouse is often chosen when the organization has a relatively clean/new operational system and management wants to make the operational data more easily available for just that system. A Central Data Warehouse is often chosen when the organization has a clear understanding about it Information Access needs and wants to provide “quality”, “integrated”, information to its knowledge workers A Distributed Data Warehouse is similar in most respects to a Central Data Warehouse, except that the data is distributed to separate mini-Data Warehouses (Data Marts )on local or specialized servers
