Part 1. <strong>The</strong> Problem<br />

Online transaction processing (<strong>OLTP</strong>) systems are becoming an increasingly<br />

common part of our daily lives, often <strong>with</strong>out our realizing it. Whether you are<br />

<strong>with</strong>drawing cash from an automatic teller machine or using your credit card to<br />

buy gas or groceries, you are interacting <strong>with</strong> <strong>OLTP</strong> systems. Because of the<br />

problems that they must solve, <strong>OLTP</strong> systems are necessarily complex.<br />

In Part 1 of the book we discuss the nature of complex <strong>OLTP</strong> systems. We also<br />

look at the requirements that must be met to keep current systems running and<br />

enable them to expand as new business opportunities arise.<br />
