TPS

Countless organizations use the services of transaction processing systems to update the data fundamental to their business actions of the organization.

A TPS furthermore offers valuable input to management information systems, decision support systems, and knowledge management systems. Transaction processing systems support routine operations associated with business processes, such as customer ordering & billing, shipping, employee payroll, purchasing, and accounting.

OLTP1

In a real-time processing system, transactions are processed immediately as they occur without any delay to accumulate transactions. Real-time processing is also referred to as online transaction processing, or OLTP. OLTP is a form of data processing where each transaction is processed immediately without delay of accumulating transactions into a batch. In this case, the records in the system always reflect the present status. A good example of an online processing transaction system would be ordering from amazon.com. When you order an item and select the quantity, the sell is made right away, and no one can purchase that item unless it is still in stock. Any changes you make to your purchases are also updated in real time. Another example is the stock market. When you submit an order to buy a stock, that order is processed immediately and not at the end of the day.
