that isn't OLTP, its OLAP.  Online Analytic Processing rather than
Online Transaction Processing....   large complex reporting queries that
have to aggregate many rows is classic OLAP.

OLTP transactions tend to refer to a few rows at a time of a bunch of
tables, and update a few rows of a various tables, and you execute many
of them per second, often for a large number of concurrent clients.
classic example is a web store system (adding/modifying items in a
shopping cart, then purchasing the items in the cart).
