OLTP
Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) is a type of data
processing that enable the real-time execution of large
numbers of database transactions by large numbers of
people in the context of business operation to be done.

For Example: online banking, shopping, order entry, or sending text


messages
OLTP Systems Characteristics:
• Used For Daily Transactional Operations • Read and Write Queries are Used
• Highly Normalized (Usually in 3NF) • Maintain Current Data Only
• Fast Writing and Processing • Frequent Inserts and Updates
• Relatively Lower Storage • High Availability and Reliably

Analysis on OLTPs?
Analysis Tasks shouldn’t be performed on OLTP
Systems
for the following reasons :

× Writing Complex Analytics Queries contains many joins and Inefficient


× Does not maintain the History, Only Current Data can be found
× Lead to Big Overhead on the OLTP Servers
× OLTP Data requires Processing to decode and clean data before Analyse

OLAP
Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) is a type of data
processing that involve querying many or all records in a
database for analytical purposes like monitoring and
reporting for a better business decision-making.

For Example: Sales reporting, marketing, Management reporting.


OLAP Systems Characteristics:
• Used For Analytics and Monitoring Purposes • Relatively Higher Storage
• Denormalized (Usually in Dimensional Form) • Read Queries are Used Solely
• Fast Reading and Querying • Maintain Current and Historical Data
• Data in Readable non-Decoded format

Data Warehouse Modeling

Some of Most Common Modeling Techniques are:


 Dimensional Modelling [Kimball’s Approach]
 Enterprise Data Warehouse [Inmon’s Approach]
 Bottom-Up Data Mart
 Data Vault

• Most Commonly Used Approach is Dimensional Model and hence


will be our Focus
• EDW Building Complexity and Time Consuming are Crucial
Concerns
• Bottom-Up Data Mart is Time Consuming and Duplicative
Approach
