A data warehouse in layman terms is a database that is used to conduct data analysis. It can also act as a bridge between operational data stores and support the analytics on any composite data.
Any data from the warehouse, like summary data for single department use may be stored in a data mart so as to be used later.
In order to ensure that the data warehouse software operates properly all the data that has been extracted from separate data sources. You can organize it into tables and modified to get consistency.
This process is also known as Extract, transform, and load. Once done you may use the data for further analysis.
