Hello, I'm an expert in database management systems. Let's delve into the differences between OLAP and OLTP. OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing) systems are designed for transactional processing. They handle a large number of short online transactions. The data in an OLTP system is typically in third normal form (3NF), which is a structured database design to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity. OLTP systems are optimized for insertions, updates, and deletions. OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing), on the other hand, is designed for analytical processing. It is characterized by a lower volume of transactions but those transactions are complex queries that often require aggregations and multi-dimensional analysis. OLAP systems use a multi-dimensional schema which is more suitable for the analysis of data where the focus is on understanding trends and patterns over time. read more >>

In OLTP database there is detailed and current data, and schema used to store transactional databases is the entity model (usually 3NF). - OLAP (On-line Analytical Processing) is characterized by relatively low volume of transactions. Queries are often very complex and involve aggregations.read more >>
