Oracle and Transaction Processing9
The value of information systems is clear from the ever-increasing number of transactions
processed by the world??™s databases. Transactions form the foundation of
business computing systems. In fact, transaction processing (TP) was the impetus for
business computing as we know it today. The batch-oriented automation of core
business processes like accounting and payroll drove the progress in mainframe computing
through the 1970s and 1980s. Along the way, TP began the shift from batch
to users interacting directly with systems, and online transaction processing (OLTP)
was born. In the 1980s the computing infrastructure shifted from large centralized
mainframes with dumb terminals to decentralized client/server computing with
graphical user interfaces (GUIs) running on PCs and accessing databases on other
machines over a network.
