Talk:Operational data store

'can anyone give one brief definition of ODS and diff between DWH and ODS. thanks in advance...'

Buzzword Madness
According to Bill Inmon, an operational data store (ODS) is a subject-oriented, integrated, volatile, current-valued, detailed-only collection of data in support of an organization's need for up-to-the-second, operational, integrated, collective information.

This is a really terrible way of saying "the most important data belonging to a business". David Wilson 14:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Example
This article is in dire need of an implementation example. I've read a couple articles and still can't think of an application where you needed integrated data that couldn't wait for a daily EDW update.--Madmonky (talk) 13:42, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

The links to Bill Inmon articles send the user to a site where a registration is required. It looks like hidden advertising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.150.248.28 (talk) 08:05, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
