    Advance Database Management System

    DISCOVER . LEARN . EMPOWER


    Distributed DBMS: A distributed database is a set of interconnected databases that is distributed over the
    computer network or internet. A Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS) manages the
    distributed database and provides mechanisms so as to make the databases transparent to the users. In
    these systems, data is intentionally distributed among multiple nodes so that all computing resources of
    the organization can be optimally used.

    Distributed Database System: A distributed database is basically a database that is not limited to one
    system, it is spread over different sites, i.e. on multiple computers or over a network of computers. A
    distributed database system is located on various sites that don’t share physical components. This may be
    required when a particular database needs to be accessed by various users globally. It needs to be
    managed such that for the users it looks like one single database.
    Features

    • Databases in the collection are logically interrelated with each other. Often they
    represent a single logical database.

    • Data is physically stored across multiple sites. Data in each site can be managed by a
    DBMS independent of the other sites.

    • The processors in the sites are connected via a network. They do not have any
    multiprocessor configuration.

    • A distributed database is not a loosely connected file system.

    • A distributed database incorporates transaction processing, but it is not synonymous with


    a transaction processing system.
    Distributed Database
    Management System
    • A distributed database management system (DDBMS) is a centralized software system that manages a
    distributed database in a manner as if it were all stored in a single location.

    • Features
    • It is used to create, retrieve, update and delete distributed databases.

    • It synchronizes the database periodically and provides access mechanisms by the virtue of which the distribution
    becomes transparent to the users.

    • It ensures that the data modified at any site is universally updated.

    • It is used in application areas where large volumes of data are processed and accessed by numerous users
    simultaneously.

    • It is designed for heterogeneous database platforms.

    • It maintains confidentiality and data integrity of the databases.


    Factors Encouraging DDBMS
    • The following factors encourage moving over to DDBMS −

    • Distributed Nature of Organizational Units − Most organizations in the current times are
    subdivided into multiple units that are physically distributed over the globe. Each unit
    requires its own set of local data. Thus, the overall database of the organization becomes
    distributed.

    • Need for Sharing of Data − The multiple organizational units often need to communicate
    with each other and share their data and resources. This demands common databases or
    replicated databases that should be used in a synchronized manner.

    • Support for Both OLTP and OLAP − Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and Online
    Analytical Processing (OLAP) work upon diversified systems which may have common
    data. Distributed database systems aid both these processing by providing synchronized
    data.
    • Database Recovery − One of the common techniques used in
    DDBMS is replication of data across different sites. Replication
    of data automatically helps in data recovery if database in any
    site is damaged. Users can access data from other sites while
    the damaged site is being reconstructed. Thus, database failure
    may become almost inconspicuous to users.

    • Support for Multiple Application Software − Most organizations


    use a variety of application software each with its specific
    database support. DDBMS provides a uniform functionality for
    using the same data among different platforms.
