    This document discusses the differences between OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing). OLTP is used for data analysis and querying by customers and IT professionals, focuses on current detailed data, and uses an entity relationship database design. In contrast, OLAP is used by managers and executives for analysis, manages large amounts of historical data at different levels of granularity to support decision making, and uses a star or snowflake database model. The document also provides links about OLAP, different OLAP techniques (MOLAP, ROLAP, DOLAP, HOLAP), and comparisons between OLTP and OLAP.
