Difference between OLAP, Data Mining and Data Warehousing

Dear Sirs,
I am new to the above topics, but I know oracle DBA very well. I would like to move into the above field. Hence, can anyone tell me the basic oracle softwaare used for OLAP, Data Mining and Data warehousing and also in brief the difference between these three.
I would be great helpfull to me.
Thanks & Regards,
Manoj Mathew

Hi Manoj Mathew,
Check these links to what Oracle has to say about its own software specific for these topics:
DataMining (tool is Oracle Data Miner): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/odm/index.html
Datawarehousing (tool is OWB): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/index.html
OLAP (tool = Analytic Workspace Manager): http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/olap.html
Good luck, Patrick

Difference between physical standby database and Data Guard

Hi guys,
Today I attended one interview. They asked me a difference between the Oracle Physical Standby database and Oracle Dataguard?
Upto my knowledge Oracle Physical Standby Database is one type of Standby Database can be configured using Oracle Databaguard Feature.
Can you people calrify me on this.
Regards,
Vijayaraghavan K

hello,
yes you are right upto some extent...here is para form oracle doc
Oracle Data Guard is the most effective and comprehensive
data availability, data protection, and disaster recovery solution
for enterprise databases. It provides the management, monitoring,
and automation software infrastructure to create and maintain one
or more synchronized standby databases to protect data from failures,
disasters, errors, and corruptions.
Data Guard standby databases can be located at remote disaster
recovery sites thousands of miles away from the production data center,
or they may be located in the same city, same campus,
or even in the same building. If the production database
becomes unavailable because of a planned or an unplanned outage,
Data Guard can switch any standby database to the production role,
thus minimizing downtime and preventing any data loss.oracle data guard is maximum availiblity solution which maintain physical standby databases and in case of failure of production can switch production role to and standby database.

What is the difference between /assets/account/import and /data/account ?

Does anybody knows what is the use of /assets/account/import and /data/account.
What is the difference between these two and their functional use.
thanks

/assets/account/import is used in the context of performing account file uploads through the E10 UI. If you navigate to Contacts > Accounts > and click Upload in the top right corner (above search), you'll get the upload wizard:
The moment you click the cloud icon and select a file, two actions take place:
1) POST to /assets/account/import is made, where you are passing the name, import source and purpose of the import. The response includes the id of the new import object you created
2) Another POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/csv is made, which includes the data in your chosen file
Afterwards, you perform the mappings and go to step 4 of the wizard. When you click Finish, another two actions take place:
1) PUT /assets/account/import/{id} to update the import definition with your mappings from Step 3
2) POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/queue to send this import into the import/upload queue. At this point it becomes visible from Setup > Integration > Inbound > Reporting > Upload History
Note that this workflow is not meant for client use, but rather helps facilitate UI functionality for marketing users. You should be using Bulk API to add or update records, which also confers other advantages such as the ability to use syncActions. The only functionality not available in Bulk API which is available through this workflow is the ability to delete Accounts. For obvious reasons, its recommend that you do NOT automate the deletion of any records. Accounts especially are not subject to any band limits or rates, so its best to have Marketers remove them as needed.
Regarding the second part of your question, the /data/accounts endpoint will provide you with up to 1000 account records when using GET. A POST can also be made to create a new account record (company) within Eloqua. Otherwise, GET /data/account/{id} will retrieve the details of a particular record and PUT /data/account{id} will update a particular.

Bojan

Difference between cellular/voice network and data network?

Hey guys, so I'm trying to learn this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
What is the difference between cellular networks (I assume voice calls) and data networks (sending and recieving data, like using apps, etc.) for each of the different carriers?
I tried researching this up, but with absolutely no luck. Any help towards understanding cellular networks and the difference if any between it and data networks would be helpful! If you can point me in the right direction, it would help too!
Also, in the presence of a voice network but no data network, can data still be transmitted? Any values for speed for the major carriers?

Try "Cellular voice vs data" as a Google search.
From that search, this article should help:

What is the difference between olap and data warehouse..?

Hi All,
Is their any difference between olap and data warehouse..? Please let me know your knowledge about these. Thank you..
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please mark it as complete, if you get the solution with this reply. TQ.

A data warehouse is a database containing data that usually represents the business history of an organization. This historical data is used for analysis. Data in a data warehouse is organized to support analysis rather than to process real-time transactions
as in online transaction processing systems (OLTP).
OLAP technology enables data warehouses to be used effectively for online analysis, providing rapid responses to iterative complex analytical queries. OLAP's multidimensional data model and data aggregation techniques organize and summarize large amounts
of data so it can be evaluated quickly using online analysis and graphical tools.

Differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse da

Hello Everyone,
Can anybody help me understand the differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse data modeling>
Thanks

Hello A S!
What you mean is the difference between modelling after normal form like in operational systems (OLTP) e. g. 3NF and modelling a InfoCube in a data warehouse (OLAP)?
While in a OLTP you want to have data tables free of redundance and ready for transactions meaning writing and reading few records often, in an OLAP-system you need to read a lot of data for every query you do on a database. Often in an OLAP-system you aggregate these amounts of data.
Therefore you use another principle for these database scheme. This is called star schema. This means that you have one central table (called fact table) which holds the key figures and have keys to another tables with characteristics. These other tables are called dimension tables. They hold combinations of the characteristics. Normally you design it that your dimensions are small, so the access on the data is more efficent.
the star scheme in SAP BI is a little more complex than explained here but it follows the same concept.
Best regards,
Peter

Difference between Data Replication and Data Synchronization?

Hi Brian: Sorry, the Data Replication task wizard does not support ODBC sources. I don't think there's an easy way to truncate the target tables using a Data Synchronization task, but you should be able to read data from an ODBC source and write it to your target. The main difference between the two task wizards:Data Replication allows you to copy multiple tables from the same source and do incremental loads (only copying new or updated data on subsequent runs of the same task)Data Syncronization allows you to transform data with field expressions and lookups. Cheers,Josh

I typically use Data Replication where I truncate the target, but it doesn't appear that this works for ODBC connections. However, Data Sync does work for ODBC connections--if I'm already truncating the target, is this the same as a data sync

Difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration"

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me the difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration". I have gone through Google but doesn't find any appropriate answer for that where I can find the difference.
It would be highly appreciated if you give me a link for all and give me some point out.
Thanks & Regards
Nimai Karmakar

Here is how I see the terms used and understood by most folks
"Data replication"
This is the keeping the same data in sync in 2 different databases. Replication is the process of keeping data in sync between 2 environments/databases and not limited to Oracle to Oracle, it could be Oracle to MySQL to be kept in sync, MySQL to Oracle, Oracle to SQL Server, SQL Server to Oracle. The purpose of keeping data in sync can vary, but that is basic description of what it is.
"Data Cloning"
Make a copy of the data/database from one database environment to another, like for example taking production database and cloning the database to a pre-production database/environment for testing. Coning term is used more when copying a database not just data, but the whole database so typically you hear the reference "Database Cloning", but data cloning is basically the making a copy of the data from one place to another. Sometimes Cloning and Duplicating are used in the same way by folks as the basic end result is the same you are making a copy of the data to someplace else.
"Data duplication"
This is typically term when duplicating the data from one environment to another for a particular purpose, a lot of folks use "Data/Database Cloning" and "Data Duplication" in the same context, meaning they use them to mean the same thing, but I see more difference in the terms so when they are different Data Duplication is done when combining 2 databases to 1 therefore you can not clone the 2 databases into one so this term would be used more in those circumstances.
"Data Migration"
Moving data from one location/database to another location database, for example moving from MySQL to Oracle you would do a data migration from MySQL to Oracle as you are moving the data from MySQL to Oracle and going to leave it in Oracle. You could also be migrating to from Oracle 10g environment to a new Oracle 11g environment, therefore "Migration" is typically used when referring to moving the data from one environment to another and the source and target are different in location, database vendor, database version.
These are very simple ways of looking at the terms from my experience on how they are used.

Difference between data form and data grids

Can anybody tell me what is the difference between data form and data grid.
Regards

data forms have restricted access. user can not access all the dimension and members, based on his role and authentication can access the form.
data grid r used for calculation, currency translation and coslidation and it consists of menu of options for diffrent consolidation based on cell status.
data grid can have line item information, description and cell status information.

Difference between Data Grid and Data Forms

Hi all,
What is the difference between data grid and data forms.

Data entry forms are pre defined and are generally used to manually input data into reporting (financial statement) schedules.
They can also be used for reviewing purposes and it gives users a presentable / and consistent format to view data in Hyperion.
Data grids are the equivalent of pivot tables in excel. It should be used for ad hoc purposes to view / analyse data in whatever form you choose. The user has the flexibility to choose what they see in the rows, columns and page dimensions.
One of the main differences between data entry forms and data grids is that you can’t export data grids to excel whereas you can with data entry forms. Other differences are:
1. Run consolidation, translation, promotion from data grids but not in data entry forms.
2. You can link other data entry forms to a data entry form
3. Data entry forms offer greater formatting options than in data grids i.e. colours, fonts, bold, italics.
At the end of the day, they are similar and there is no reason why you can’t have (use) both. It all depends on your local needs on how best you use both.
I hope above information helps.

Difference Between Data Type and Data Object

Difference Between Data Type and Data Object

hi magesh
Data types can be divided into
elementary,
reference, and
complex types.
Elementary Types
Elementary types are the smallest indivisible unit of types. They can be grouped as those with fixed length and those with variable length.
Fixed-Length Elementary Types
There are eight predefined types in ABAP with fixed length:
Four character types:
Character (C),
Numeric character (N),
Date (D),
and Time (T).
One hexadecimal type:
Byte field (X).
Three numeric types:
Integer (I),
Floating-point number (F)
and Packed number (P).
Variable-Length Elementary Types
There are two predefined types in ABAP with variable length:
STRING for character strings
XSTRING for byte strings
Reference Types
Reference types
describe data objects that contain references (pointers) to other objects (data objects and objects in ABAP Objects).
Data Types
1) As well as occurring as attributes of a data object, data types can also be defined independently.
2)You can then use them later on in conjunction with a data object.
3) The definition of a user-defined data type is based on a set of predefined elementary data types.
4) You can define data types either locally in the declaration part of a program using the TYPESstatement) or globally in the ABAP Dictionary.
5) You can use your own data types to declare data objects or to check the types of parameters in generic operations.
Data Objects
1)Data objects are the physical units with which ABAP statements work at runtime.
2) The contents of a data object occupy memory space in the program.
3) ABAP statements access these contents by addressing the name of the data object and interpret them according to the data type..
4) For example, statements can write the contents of data objects in lists or in the database, they can pass them to and receive them from routines, they can change them by assigning new values, and they can compare them in logical expressions.
5) Each ABAP data object has a set of technical attributes, which are fully defined at all times when an ABAP program is running (field length, number of decimal places, and data type).
6) You declare data objects either statically in the declaration part of an ABAP program (the most important statement for this is DATA), or dynamically at runtime (for example, when you call procedures).
7) As well as fields in the memory area of the program, the program also treats literals like data objects.
hope this helps u,
reward points if useful

Differences between DATA TYPE and DATA OBJECTS

I am new to ABAP,I want to know the differences between DATA TYPE and DATA OBJECTS with some examples.
please help me regarding this.

Hi Ashish,
Data Types:       Are pure descriptions.
               No memory is associated with data types.
               Describes the technical properties of data objects.
EX.
1.     C-CHARACTER
2.     D-DATE
3.     F-FLOAT
4.     I-INTEGER
5.     N-NUMERIC TEXT
6.     T-TIME
7.     P-PACKED NUMBER
8.     X-HEXADECIMAL
9.     STRING-Variable length string.
10.     XSTRING-Variable length byte string.
Data Objects: Are created during runtime.
                They cannot exist without the data Types.
                Occupies memory space.
EX:
1.     INTERNAL DATA OBJECT- Internal Data objects
     LITEERAL- A literal has a fixed value.Ex: WRITE:u201DWORK HARDu201D.
     VARIABLES: Data statement is used to create variables.
EX.DATA: NUM TYPE I.
NUM: VARIABLE defined by data statement.
EX: DATA: PRICE LIKE NUM.
     CONSTANT-It is a data object, which contains a constant value throughout the program.
Can be declared in program by using CONSTANT statement.
EX:CONSTANT: INT TYPE I VALUE 15.
2.     EXTERNAL DATA OBJECT: Are defined in tables i.e In ABAP/4 dictionary you can access this data from table.
         EX: TABLES: SFLIGHT
          DATA: SEATS LIKE SFLIGHT-SEATSMAX.
3.     SYSTEM DEFINED DATA OBJECTS:Space & system variables like SY-UNAME,SY-DATUM, SY-REPID.
4.     SPECIAL DATA OBJECTS:
     PARAMETERS: Are Variables ,which can accept value from user.
      SELECTION SCREEN : Are special internal tables to accept value ranges from user.
3 APPROACHES TO DEFINE DATA OBJECTS.
1.     ELEMENTARY TYPES
DATA: Customer _Name (25) TYPE C,
               Vendor_Name (25) TYPE C.
2.     REFRENCE TO AN EXISTING FIELD:
DATA: Customer _Name2 (25) TYPE C,
              Vendor_Name2 (25) LIKE Customer_Name2
3.     REFRENCE TO NON-ELEMENTARY TYPE:
TYPES: T_NAME (25) TYPE C
DATA: CUSTOMER_NAME TYPE T_NAME
               VENDOR_NAME TYPE T_NAME
4.     RECORD-Information in rows & columns.
DATA: BEGIN OF BOOKING,
                                ID (4) TYPE C,
                                FLIGHT_DATE TYPE D,
                                NAME LIKE CUSTOMER_NAME,
                                END OF BOOKING.
You can also look into SAP help for more information.

Indu.

Difference between data dictionary and data base

Hi,
Please give me clear view on data dictionary and data base.
Thanks
margani

Hi Margini,
Please check the forms u can find the lot of answers
Here is a link
http://www.sapdb.info/abap-data-dictionary/
What is a data dictionary?
Data Dictionary is a central source of data in a data management system. Its main function is to support the creation and management of data definitions. It has details about
·            what data is contained?
·            What are the attributes of the data?
·            What is the relationship existing between the various data elements?
