what is the difference between OLTP database and data
warehousing database?

Answer Posted / jteo

OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) database design is
normalised, which means it is optimized for INSERT, UPDATE.

Data warehouse design is not normalised but follows
dimensional modelling rules. They involve building star
schemas made up of fact tables and dimension tables and are
optimized for querying (SELECT).
