A data warehouse is a central store of data that has
been extracted from operational data. Data in a data
warehouse is typically subject-oriented, non-volatile,
and of a historic nature, as contrasted with data used in an on-line transaction processing system. Data in data warehouses are often used in data mining and on-line analytical processing tools.
