Data warehousing involves the process of collecting, managing, and organizing data from various sources into a centralized repository for analysis and reporting. It focuses on creating a unified and integrated view of an organization's data to facilitate effective decision-making. Data warehouses are designed to support complex queries and data analysis, providing a stable and consistent platform for business intelligence and reporting activities. They often employ technologies such as Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes to extract data from various sources, transform it into a consistent format, and load it into the data warehouse for analysis and reporting.
