Distributed Data Processing Definitions Benefits of DD DDB/DDBMS associated Issues C.J.Dates Twelve Rulesof Distribution Nabeel Asif

Distributed Data Processing

Number of autonomous data processing systems that are interconnected by a network. What can be distributed
Processing elements Function Data Control

Some non-DDBS
Single node system Tightly coupled Loosely coupled Not collection of files

Tight Coupling *

Multiprocessor System: multiple processors that share some form of memory

Distributed Database
DDBS: A collection of multiple logically integrated databases distributed over a computer network (Tamer)
DDBMS: DDBMS is a software system that permits the management of the DDBS and makes distribution transparency to the users (Tamer)

DDBS formula
DDBS equals DDB + DDBMS

Integration not centralization

DDBMS Benefits *

Access remote sites & transmit queries Bring the data back Keep track of distribution and replication in DDBMs catalog Device execution strategy for global queries Decide copy of replica Maintain consistency of distributed database Maintain Global Conceptual Schema Crash recovery of database .

DDB/DDBMS associated Issues

Lack of Experience Cost Distribution of Control Difficult of Change Distributed Deadlock Management Distributed Concurrency Control Complexity
Distributed Database Design Distributed query processing Distributed data dictionary management Network Implementation Integration with Operating System

Nabeel Asif

C.J.Dates 12 rules for DD to be DD

Rule 0, to the user, db sys should look like exactly like a non-distributed system

Local autonomy No reliance on central site Continuous operations Location independence Fragmentation independence Replication
