DATA WAREHOUSE.

Data warehouse. What is that ? Do you know about it ? maybe some of you think 'warehouse' that sells clothes right ? It's simple. Warehouse is place for storage of goods. So, automatically we can say it as place of storage of data. Get it ? Picture below shows you data warehouse .

 it is a logical collection of information that gathered from many different operational databases that supports business activities & decision making start.

Data warehouse compiled information from internal or transactional/operational databases & external databases through extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL)
Data warehouse sends subsets of the information to data mart.
Information is multidimensional : contains layers of columns and rows
To present multidimensional information, a cube is used in common term.

                                                                        Example of cube
Data mining is the process of analyzing data to extract information not offered by raw data alone and to  perform it, users need data mining tools such as query tools, reporting tools, statistical tools and intelligent agent. This tools use a variety of techniques to find patterns and relationship in large volume of information.

To  increase quality of organizational information and effectiveness, businesses must develop strategy to keep information clean. Information cleansing or scrubbing is process that weed out & fixes or discard inconsistent, incorrect or incomplete information.

In addition, business intelligence is information that people use to support their decision making efforts.
Principle BI enablers include technology, culture and people.

Thats all i can conclude about this chapter and see you again ! :)

A Little Bit of Chapter 7 : Storing Organizational Informational Databases

Assalamualaikum. Hai. Hello. How's your day today ? Nice ? If not nice, lets make it nice !

                                            

                                     So, don't be sad and enjoy your day okay ? ^^


Okay, this entry i want to summarize or refreshing your mind about what we have learned. :)
This chapter  is about storing organizational information databases.

What is databases ?

maintain info about various types of objects (inventory), event (transaction),

people (employees) and places (warehouses).

for example UiTM student portal and facebook 

Databases models include :

① Hierarchical database model - organized into tree-like structure
② Network database model - representing objects and relationship
③ Relational database model - stores information in form of logically related two dimensional tables

Entity  : person, place, thing, transaction or event about which info is stored

Attribute : field or columns, characteristics or properties of an entity class.

Primary class and foreign keys identify various entity classes in database.

Primary key - a field that uniquely identifies a given entity in a table.

Foreign key - primary key of 1 table an attribute in another table and acts to provide a logical   relationship among two tables

As we know, databases advantage from a business perspective include :

1. increased flexibility

2. increased scalability and performance

3. reduce info redundancy

4. increase info integrity

4. increase information integrity

Database management systems also known as DBMS is software through  which users and application programs interact with database.

Data driven Management is an interactive website kept constantly updated and relevant to the needs of its customers thru the use of database.

Information must integrate among multiple database and divide into two that is Forward Integration and Backward Integration.

Forward Integration takes information entered into given system and sends it automatically to all downstreams system and processes.

Backward Integration takes information entered into given system and sends it automatically to all upstream systems and processes.

Thats all i want to share. 

Thanks for reading  :D
