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.
