OLTP: Complex, focused on business entities (in terms of relational databases it is called normalized data structure (e.g. 3NF))DSS: Different approaches exist. The simplified denormalised dimensional structure gains momentum, since it allows easier understanding by business users and optimized execution of complex queries.Source: http://ezinearticles.com/?OLTP-vs-DSS-systems&id=342276 No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |
