Data mart

A data mart is an extract of the data warehouse which is established for separate purposes.

Such purposes may be:

special structure: e.g. OLAP for multidimensional analysis
special content: e.g. reduced parts of a huge data warehouse analogue to an user view
performance: separate handling on separate processional units (computers)
security: opening data for more or other users.
