RE: what is the difference between ODS and OLTP
 
1. ODS  - It is a decision support system which contains snapshot of current data for day to day analysis. This may include little history data also
   OLTP - It is a trasaction system though it contains current data it keeps changing due to lot of transaction. This does not have history data

2. ODS - It is data integrated, subject oriented, time variant and non volatile enterprise wide data for analysis
   OLTP - It is just transactional to support particular business process. It is not data integrated on different business process across organization

3. ODS - Denormalized data may contain normalized data also
   OLTP - Highly Normalized to reduce data redunduncy
