The core business scenario (taking ERP as an example) is characterized by a small amount of data, high performance requirements, and high reliability requirements.

Question

Options

• ATRUE
• BFALSE

• A
  87% (20)
• B
  13% (3)

Explanation

Option A is correct because ERP systems represent OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) workloads - core business operations like sales orders, financial postings, and inventory updates involve small, discrete records (a single transaction, a single line item) rather than bulk data. These systems demand high performance because business processes are time-sensitive and users expect near-instant responses, and high reliability because any downtime directly disrupts business operations and can cause financial or compliance consequences.

Option B is wrong because describing core business scenarios as anything other than high-performance and high-reliability fundamentally misrepresents their nature - even a brief outage in an ERP system can halt production lines or block financial close.

Memory tip: Think "OLTP = small + fast + always-on." Contrast this with OLAP/analytics workloads (data warehouses), which are the opposite: large data volumes, lower performance urgency, and more tolerance for latency. If an exam question mentions ERP or "core business," map it to OLTP characteristics.
