Online as opposed to batch.

• intrasight 5y ago
  I know. But still, you must agree, a stupid name. The rest of the IT industry would say "real-time vs batch". And OLAP is batch for most implementations.

    Real-time is engine control software not a webpage with a spinner.

    The name was coined way before "online" meant what it means today.
