Distributed Databases
Two kinds of distributed databases
- parallel database on a distributed architecture
- single schema/control, data distributed over network
- independent databases on a distributed architecture
- independent schemas/DBMSs, combined via global schema
The latter are also called federated databases
Distribution of data complicates tx processing ...
- potential for multiple copies of data to become inconsistent
- commit or abort must occur consistently on all nodes
