In which of the following databases would the developer store the data?

A. Online analytical processing
B. Online query processing
C. Online transactional processing
D. Online standard processing

Correct Answer

C. Online transactional processing

Explanation

The correct answer is: Online transactional processing Online transaction processing (OLTP) captures, stores, and processes data from transactions in real-time. An OLTP database stores and manages data related to everyday operations within a system or a company. However, OLTP is focused on transaction-oriented tasks. OLTP typically deals with query processing (inserting, updating, deleting data in a database), and maintaining data integrity and effectiveness when dealing with numerous transactions simultaneously. Each transaction involves individual database records made up of multiple fields or columns. Examples include banking and credit card activity or retail checkout scanning. Online analytical processing is incorrect. Online analytical processing (OLAP) uses complex queries to analyze aggregated historical data from OLTP systems. OLTP and OLAP are two systems that complement each other. While OLTP deals with processing day-to-day transactions, OLAP helps analyze the processed data. Online query processing and Online standard processing are incorrect as these are imaginary terms.
