Online processing shall be used in real time processing, when responses are required in a short time (Kranjc, Orač, Podpečan, Lavrač & Robnik-Šikonja, 2017). This is so because data in online processing is processed immediately while it is entered into the system. Batch processing shall be used, when it is required to handle large amount of data.
