What is a Distributed Database System? A distributed database (DDB) is a collection of multiple, logically interrelated databases distributed over a computer network. A distributed database management system (D–DBMS) is the software that manages the DDB and provides an access mechanism that makes this distribution transparent to the users. Distributed database system (DDBS) = DB + Communication Distributed DBMS © 2001 M. Tamer Özsu & Patrick Valduriez Page 1. 9

What is not a DDBS? A timesharing computer system A loosely or tightly coupled multiprocessor system A database system which resides at one of the nodes of a network of computers - this is a centralized database on a network node Distributed DBMS © 2001 M. Tamer Özsu & Patrick Valduriez Page 1. 10

Implicit Assumptions Data stored at a number of sites each site logically consists of a single processor. Processors at different sites are interconnected by a computer network no multiprocessors à parallel database systems Distributed database is a database, not a collection of files data logically related as exhibited in the users’ access patterns à relational data model D-DBMS is a full-fledged DBMS à not remote file system, not a TP system Distributed DBMS © 2001 M.

Distributed DBMS Promises Distributed DBMS Transparent management of distributed, fragmented, and replicated data Improved reliability/availability through distributed transactions Improved performance Easier and more economical system expansion © 2001 M. Tamer Özsu & Patrick Valduriez Page 1. 18

Transparency is the separation of the higher level semantics of a system from the lower level implementation issues. Fundamental issue is to provide data independence in the distributed environment à Network (distribution) transparency à Replication transparency à Fragmentation transparency horizontal fragmentation: selection vertical fragmentation: projection hybrid Distributed DBMS © 2001 M.
