OLAP is abbreviated as Online Analytical Processing, and it is set to be a system which collects, manages, processes multi-dimensional data for analysis and management purposes.

Following are the differences between OLTP and OLAP:

OLTP

2. Simple queries by users
3. Normalized small database
4. Fundamental business tasks

OLAP
1. Data is from various data sources
2. Complex queries by system
3. De-normalized Large Database
4. Multi-dimensional business tasks
