"...the combination of the Operational Data Store along with the data warehouse 'flesh out' the modern information architecture of systems. Together these two architectural combine...to form a complete picture of modern systems architecture." W. H. Inmon.

The operational data store is a dynamic architectural construct specifically designed for doing high-speed, integrated operational processing. It achieves at the operational level what the data warehouse does at the strategic/managerial level. Now, from a team of experts headed by W. H. Inmon, the "father of the data warehouse," here is the first comprehensive guide to understanding, building, and using operational data stores. Providing in-depth coverage of all practical and theoretical issues surrounding the operational data store, it tells you:

• What the operational data store is, how it differs from the data warehouse, where it fits within modern systems architecture.
• How the operational data store relates to decision support and executive information systems data.
• Hardware platforms and configurations, related database design techniques, the role of CASE and DBMS technologies, and other crucial technical considerations.
• How to design and build an operational data store—including step-by-step guidelines, a comprehensive work plan, and numerous illustrative case studies.
• Techniques for using the operational data store in conjunction with the data warehouse to provide companies with a powerful competitive edge.
• And much more.
