RE: 1).briefly state different between data ware house...
 

Datamarts are subset of Datawarehouse.

Datamarts are departmental datawarehouse, whereas datawarehouse is enterprise datawarehouse.

In bottom up approach of DWH, central metadata repository is created and datamarts are built with that...

There are two types of Datamarts

1. Dependent Datamart

2. Independent Datamart
