RE: Difference between Database and Datawarehouse
As per my knowledge : actually clusters will be using to not to have down time in the source system. mpp means massivly parlell processing (i.e parlelly processing from the source to target massively by placing multiple processors) but coming to cluster point
first of all when ever we are fetching data from one 'A'system to 'B' system 'A' system should be down then only we can fetch data from 'A' to 'B'.
so now here by using cluster we do not want to down the 'A' system

RE: Difference between Database and Datawarehouse

Data mart is subset of dataware house
In Brief: Assume that there is an company called vijayJDK
and it is havaing 4 dept
1:petrolium
2:deisel
3:kirosine
4:crudoil
now if you develop dataware house for any of them above 4 dept's we call them as datamarts and then if you consolidate 4 dept's then that will be called as dataware house

RE: Difference between Database and Datawarehouse
Database :- database is a collection of related information stored in a structured form in terms of table so that It makes easier insertion deletion and mainupulation of data. database consist of tables that contain attributes.

DatawareHouse :- a data warehouse is a database system optimised for reporting.data warehousing involves architectures methodologies and technologies that enable an organisation to better utilise its data in a way which minimises the load on source database systems. A data warehouse sources its data from the main operational systems but performs its own processing and stores the data efficiently to allow the data to be presented in the most usable format.
