Essentially, the operational database used to derive the data warehouse later on, encompasses fourteen distinct relations or tables associated together by means of relationships. It is a relational model database implemented under MS Access [8]. This database represents the business inside a typical university. It includes a front end registration system for handling students’ registration processes, an accounting system for managing students’ fees payments, a course management system for managing courses and assigning them particular sections and instructors, an alumni system for archiving students’ records after graduation, and an assets system for distributing items such as machines, equipment, and computers over different departments. Figure 1 depicts the conceptual schema of the operational database.
