OLTP applications are applications that help in the processing and management of transactions. These applications perform data capture, data processing, retrieval, modification, and storage. However, it does not stop here. OLTP applications treat these data tasks as transactions. Transactions have a few important properties and OLTP applications adhere to these properties.
