An Operational Data Store (ODS) is a database designed to integrate data from multiple source systems in near real time, providing a consolidated view for operational reporting and decision-making. Unlike a data warehouse, which stores historical data for long-term analysis, an ODS typically holds current, frequently refreshed data used for day-to-day operations. It is commonly used by data engineers and IT teams as a staging layer between transactional systems and analytical systems.
