This analysis results in data generalization and data mining. Today’s advanced data warehousing processes separate online analytical processing (OLAP) from online transactional processing (OLTP) by making another data archive that incorporates essential data from different sources, appropriately organizes data organizations, and after that makes data accessible for examination and assessment went for arranging and basic leadership processes. Data mining functions such as association, clustering, classification, prediction can be integrated with OLAP operations to enhance the interactive mining of knowledge at multiple level of abstraction. That's why data warehouse has now become an important platform for data analysis and online analytical processing.
