◉ Flat File Database. Answer: Stores data in plain text, holding one
record; cannot contain multiple tables like a relational database.
◉ Online Analytical processing (OLAP). Answer: analyze transaction
data used for making decisions; multidimensional (cubical) data;

◉ data mart. Answer: smaller subset database from a data
warehouse typically focused on a single area or function.
