What is data cleaning? How can we do that?

Answer

Data cleaning is a self-explanatory term. Most of the data warehouses in the world source data from multiple systems - systems that were created long before data warehousing was well understood, and hence without the vision to consolidate the same in a single repository of information. In such a scenario, the possibilities of the following are there:

► Missing information for a column from one of the data sources;
► Inconsistent information among different data sources;
► Orphan records;
► Outlier data points;
► Different data types for the same information among various data sources, leading to improper conversion;
► Data breaching business rules
