Anyway, OLAP and OLTP are general database concepts, not only applied to
Firebird. Wikipedia and other Google sources will give you enough
informations to play with. If you want a more academic approach, you could
look to this awesome book:
http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Database-Systems-Ramez-Elmasri/dp/0136086209

This is one is very good book to start if you want to have a plain database
systems knowledge.
