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.

I need to select the rows based on the latest 'Payment_due_date' column value. Let's say I have a Deski report with 3 columns: Payment_due_date, Cust_Name, Oustanding_Amt. Report is like this: ===================================== Payment_due_date,Cust_Name,Oustanding_Amt 02/28/11 , Bob, 115 03/31/11 , Bob, 90 02/28/11 , Mike, 120 02/28/11 , Susan, 220 05/31/11 , Bob, 80, 03/31/11 , Susan, 70 05/31/11 , Mike, 220 05/31/11 , Susan, 120 04/30/11 , Susan, 130 So,we would like to see (based on latest Payment_due_date) ================== 05/31/11 , Bob, 80, 05/31/11 , Mike, 220 05/31/11 , Susan, 120 Oustanding_Amt comes as SUM(Oustanding_Amt) from Universe. If we use Max(Payment_due_date),we do get one row but then, the column 'Oustanding_Amt' sums up. Not allowed to use do SQL Override .Context Operators aren't working. Thanks in advance:)
