Differences between OLTP and OLAP

Online transaction processing system:
******************************* 
  1. In OLTP system, the tables are in normalized structure
  2. As the OLTP is in normalized structure, DML operations like Updates and deletes will be faster
  3. Simple queries are run against the OLTP system
  4. OLTP system contains only current data. As the OLTP system does not contain history data, it cannot be used in reporting 

Online analytic processing system:
**************************** 
  1. In OLAP system, the tables are in de normalized structure
  2.  As the OLAP is in de normalized structure, the numbers of joins between tables are less and hence select statements will be faster
  3.  Complex queries are run against the OLAP system
  4.  OLTP system contains only history data and can be used for reporting purpose

1.   Purpose of the Article The purpose of this Aricle is to describe the different test stages that will be performed; how the testing will be prepared and executed for each stage, and the criteria that need to be met before transition from one stage to the next can occu r. 2.   Phases involved in Data Migration Testing Below are the phases involved in testing data migration. ·         Fusion ·         Release 1.       Design 2.       Implementation a)       Ear b)       Iterations 3.       SIT (System Integration Testing) 4.       UAT (User Acceptance Testing) 2.1.         Fusion (Discover and Define) In this Phase the requirements for the Data Migration project is gathered and identified from the Testing perspective. QA is responsible for defining the scope of testing; high level estimation and Requirement Specification docs. This phase we will perform pre-migration testing, these tests occur

What is Data Validation Option ? What can be tested ? To answer above two questions, Data Validation Option is a ETL Testing tool which comes along with power center and enables to test and validate data Data Validation Option reads table definitions from Power Center metadata repositories, and checks the data for inconsistencies Verify that moved or transformed data is complete and accurate and has not been changed because of errors in the movement or transformation process Will not check the correctness of transformations or mappings designed in Informatica Data Validation stages A typical workflow or stages for data validation consists of multiple tasks- 1. Data Validation Option reads one or more Power Center metadata repositories 2. We define the validation rules(creation of tests) in Data Validation Option 3. We run the rules(tests) to ensure the data conforms to the validation rules. When we do this, Data  Validation Option performs the following tasks: 1.
