hello everyone welcome to amcode
and this is the continuation of our
previous lecture
where we have discussed architecture of
a data warehousing
where we have seen the business analysis
framework in detail
and we have also discussed the
three-tiered data warehouse architecture
with their each components in details
also we have seen various data warehouse
models such as virtual warehouse
data mart and the enterprise warehouse
with some simple examples
so for this lecture our first point is
load manager
so this is one component of a data
warehouse
so you might ask what really is a load
manager
so this components performs the
operations which is required to extract
and load the data into the data
warehouse
so the size and complexity of the load
manager
varies according to the requirements of
your organization
so the load manager performs some
specific functions
so the first one is extract the data
from the source system
this is the first step the next one is
fast load
the data which is extracted from the
source system
and put it into the temporary data store
so you might ask what is a fast load so
we will discuss in brief
in just a minute and the next function
which performs by the load manager is
the simple transformation
into the structure which is similar to
the one in the data warehouse
so this basic functions is operated by
the load manager
so now we will discuss each function in
detail
what happens in the extraction process
so the data is extracted from the
operational database
or the external information providers
gateways is the application programs
that are used to extract this data
it is supported by the underlying dbms
or we can say database management
systems and
allows the client programs to generate
sql to be executed at the server
so there are different examples of a
gateway
which are open database connection which
is odbc
java database connection which is jdbc
so these are some
examples of a gateway so the next step
is
fast load so what do you mean by fast
load so in order to minimize
the total load window the data needs to
be loaded
into the warehouse in the fastest
possible time
to improve the process efficiency
so the transformation affects the speed
of the data processing
so it is more effective to load the data
into relational database prior to
applying some
transformation and checks so the gateway
technology
proves to be not suitable since they do
not perform well when the large
data is involved and our last function
is simple transformations
so when loading it may be required to
perform the simple transformation
after this has been completed we are in
a position
to do the complex checks suppose we are
loading the sales and transaction data
that we need to perform subject for this
we have to strip out
all the columns that are not required
within the warehouse
and we will convert all the values to
the required data types
so this was all about load manager so
our next topic is
warehouse manager so the warehouse
manager
is responsible for the warehouse
management processes
it consists of a third party system
software such as c
programs and shell scripting the size
and complexity of a warehouse manager
varies between the specific solutions
so it also depends on the requirement of
a data warehouse
so the warehouse manager architecture
includes
the controlling process stored
procedures
backup and recovery tool and the sql
scripts
so there are various operations which
are performed by the warehouse manager
so the first one is a warehouse manager
analyzes the data
to perform consistency and referential
integrity checks
its next function is creates indexes
business views and partition views
against the base data
so this business views will be consumed
by the users for doing the analysis and
checks
the next function is it generates new
aggregations
and updates the existing aggregation
and also it generates the normalization
which you are already familiar with
it also transforms and merges the source
data
into the published data warehouse and
its
last function is it backups the data in
the data warehouse and also performs the
archiving operation
so you have to remember one thing
clearly a data warehouse manager
also analyzes query profiles to
determine the indexes
and aggregations which will be
appropriate
our next component is query manager
so the query manager is responsible
for directing the queries to the
suitable tables
so by directing the queries to
appropriate tables the speed of querying
and response generation can be increased
so it will definitely improve the
performance of the queries
so the query manager is responsible for
scheduling
and execution of the queries which are
proposed by the user
according to the user's requirements
query manager
schedules the appropriate time for the
query execution
so the query manager involves different
components
which are given in this figure these are
query direction
query management tool query scheduling
via the rdbms
or a query scheduling via a third-party
softwares
as you can see in this figure our next
topic is
detailed information so what do you mean
by detailed information
so retail information is not kept online
rather than it is aggregated to the next
level of detail
and then archived to the table so the
detailed information
is a part of data warehouse which keeps
the detailed information
in the starflick schema so it is
starfleet
we will discuss in the upcoming
tutorials so it is loaded into the data
warehouse
to supplement the aggregated data so
this diagram
shows a pictorial impression of where
the detailed information is stored
and how it is used so the important
thing is
if the detailed information is held
offline to minimize the disk storage
we should make sure that the data has
been extracted
cleaned up and transform into the star
flex schema
before it is archived and our last topic
in the data warehouse architecture is
summary information
so the summary information is a part of
data warehouse
that stores the predefined aggregation
so these aggregations are generated by
the warehouse manager
so the summary information must be
treated as a transient
it changes on the go in order to respond
to the changing query profiles
so as the query profile changes so the
summary information
should also change so these are some key
points you have to remember
about the summary information so the
summary information
speed up the performance of common
queries
it also controls the operational cost
and it needs to be updated whenever the
new data is
loaded into the data warehouse so this
is all about
summer information so in this lecture we
have seen
what is a loan manager and what is its
significance we have also seen the
warehouse manager
query manager as well as we have covered
the detailed information
and the summary information in brief so
