Also, you can use OLTP or OLAP databases as your storage.2. Inmon approachIn this approach, you store the data in third normal form, it helps us to handle high-volume databases, yet it is not fast, user-understandable, and resilient to change. Moreover you can not use an OLAP database as your ODS storage. Taken from http://bisolutions.blogspot.com/2007/08/kimball-method-vs-inmon-method.html
