    Online transaction processing (OLTP) systems facilitate and manage transaction-oriented applications for data entry and retrieval. OLTP systems are designed to have high throughput and support hundreds of users inserting and updating data concurrently. Key goals for OLTP systems are availability, speed, concurrency, and recoverability. Design elements like rollback segments, discrete transactions, and buffer cache tuning can improve the performance of OLTP systems for large numbers of users.

    Online transaction processing

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. Relevant discussion may
    be found on the talk page. Please help improve this article by introducingcitations to
    additional sources. (March 2013)

    Online transaction processing, or OLTP, is a class of information systems that facilitate and


    manage transaction-oriented applications, typically for data entry and retrieval transaction
    processing. The term is somewhat ambiguous; some understand a "transaction" in the context of
    computer or database transactions, while others (such as the Transaction Processing Performance
    Council) define it in terms of business or commercial transactions.[1] OLTP has also been used to
    refer to processing in which the system responds immediately to user requests. An automated teller
    machine (ATM) for a bank is an example of a commercial transaction processing application. Online
    transaction processing applications are high throughput and insert or update-intensive in database
    management. These applications are used concurrently by hundreds of users. The key goals of
    OLTP applications are availability, speed, concurrency and recoverability. [2] Reduced paper trails and
    the faster, more accurate forecast for revenues and expenses are both examples of how OLTP
    makes things simpler for businesses. However, like many modern online information technology
    solutions, some systems require offline maintenance, which further affects the cost-benefit analysis
    of online transaction processing system.

    What Is an OLTP System?[edit]


    OLTP system is a popular data processing system in today's enterprises. Some examples of OLTP
    systems include order entry, retail sales, and financial transaction systems. [3] Online transaction
    processing system increasingly requires support for transactions that span a network and may
    include more than one company. For this reason, modern online transaction processing software
    use client or server processing and brokering software that allows transactions to run on different
    computer platforms in a network.
    In large applications, efficient OLTP may depend on sophisticated transaction management software
    (such as CICS) and/ordatabase optimization tactics to facilitate the processing of large numbers of
    concurrent updates to an OLTP-oriented database.
    For even more demanding decentralized database systems, OLTP brokering programs can
    distribute transaction processing among multiple computers on a network. OLTP is often integrated
    into service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web services.
    Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) involves gathering input information, processing the
    information and updating existing information to reflect the gathered and processed information. As
    of today, most organizations use a database management system to support OLTP. OLTP is carried
    in a client server system.
    Online Transaction Process concerns about concurrency and atomicity. Concurrency controls
    guarantee that two users accessing the same data in the database system will not be able to change
    that data or the user has to wait until the other user has finished processing, before changing that
    piece of data. Atomicity controls guarantee that all the steps in transaction are completed
    successfully as a group. That is, if any steps between the transaction fail, all other steps must fail
    also.[4]

    Online Transaction Processing Systems Design[edit]


    To build an OLTP system, designer must know that the large number of concurrent users does not
    interfere with the system's performance. To increase the performance of OLTP system, designer
    must avoid the excessive use of indexes and clusters.
    The following elements are crucial for the performance of OLTP systems:[5]

     Rollback segments
    Rollback segments are the portions of database that record the actions of transactions in the
    event that a transaction is rolled back. Rollback segments provide read consistency, roll back
    transactions, and recover the database.[6]

     Clusters
    A cluster is a schema that contains one or more tables that have one or more columns in
    common. Clustering tables in database improves the performance of join operation.[7]

     Discrete transactions
    All changes to the data are deferred until the transaction commits during a discrete
    transaction. It can improve the performance of short, non-distributed transaction. [8]

     Block (data storage) size


    The data block size should be a multiple of the operating system's block size within the
    maximum limit to avoid unnecessary I/O.[9]

     Buffer cache size
    To avoid unnecessary resource consumption, tune SQL statements to use the database
    buffer cache.[10]

     Dynamic allocation of space to tables and rollback segments


     Transaction processing monitors and the multi-threaded server
    A transaction processing monitor is used for coordination of services. It is like an operating
    system and does the coordination at a high level of granularity and can span multiple
    computing devices.[11]

     Partition (database)
    Partition increases performance for sites that have regular transactions while still maintain
    availability and security.[12]

     database tuning
    With database tuning, OLTP system can maximize its performance as efficiently and rapidly
    as possible.
