Answer / jansi

OLAP - Online Analytical Processing, which deals with
analysis of data. It has to deal with historical data too (
for analysis purpose) Not updated frequently. If required
bulk update is allowed.

OLTP - Online Transactional Processing, which deals with
transactions. For e.g. withdrawals at ATM machines. It
involves many transactions. The databases have to be updated
more frequently after the successful completion of a
transaction.
