How to balance a database between OLAP and OLTP workflows
In this blog article, we will be comparing OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) and OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) databases. We will discuss their differences and similarities, discuss the ideal database architecture for a database that can handle both OLAP and OLTP workloads, and provide a synthesis of
