    Data warehouses are centralized databases containing detailed data from multiple sources, while data marts contain summarized data from a single project or subject area. Key differences include that data warehouses use lightly denormalized schemas while data marts use highly denormalized schemas, data warehouses have a top-down design and longer lifecycle compared to the bottom-up, shorter lifecycle of data marts. Data warehouses also contain detailed data in fact constellation schemas and have larger size and scope than data marts.

    Difference between Data Warehouse and Data Mart


    Both Data Warehouse and Data Mart are used for store the data. 

    The main difference between Data warehouse and Data mart is that, Data Warehouse is
    the type of database which is data-oriented in nature. while, Data Mart is the type of
    database which is the project-oriented in nature. The other difference between these
    two the Data warehouse and the Data mart is that, Data warehouse is large in scope
    where as Data mart is limited in scope. 

    Let’s see the difference between Data warehouse and Data mart:
