That will create an excesive work load over your transactional server.

Onother point, what will happen in one or two years when you cleanse your
tables looking for performance? Your views will also loose data.

The idea of a DWH is avoiding OLTP server overload with heavy analysis
queries and of course, maintaing your valuable data in the long term.

Hope it helps.
