Distributed Database System A distributed database system consists of loosely coupled sites that share no physical component Database systems that run on each site are independent of each other Transactions may access data at one or more sites Database System Concepts-6th Edition 19.3 @Silberschatz,Korth and Sudarshan

Homogeneous Distributed Databases In a homogeneous distributed database All sites have identical software Are aware of each other and agree to cooperate in processing user requests. Each site surrenders part of its autonomy in terms of right to change schemas or software Appears to user as a single system In a heterogeneous distributed database Different sites may use different schemas and software Difference in schema is a major problem for query processing Difference in software is a major problem for transaction processing Sites may not be aware of each other and may provide only limited facilities for cooperation in transaction processing Database System Concepts-6th Edition 19.4 @Silberschatz,Korth and Sudarshan

Distributed Data Storage Assume relational data model Replication System maintains multiple copies of data,stored in different sites, for faster retrieval and fault tolerance. Fragmentation Relation is partitioned into several fragments stored in distinct sites Replication and fragmentation can be combined Relation is partitioned into several fragments:system maintains several identical replicas of each such fragment.

Data Replication A relation or fragment of a relation is replicated if it is stored redundantly in two or more sites. Full replication of a relation is the case where the relation is stored at all sites. Fully redundant databases are those in which every site contains a copy of the entire database.

Data Replication (Cont.) Advantages of Replication Availability:failure of site containing relation r does not result in unavailability of ris replicas exist. Parallelism:queries on r may be processed by several nodes in parallel. Reduced data transfer:relation r is available locally at each site containing a replica of r. Disadvantages of Replication Increased cost of updates:each replica of relation r must be updated. Increased complexity of concurrency control:concurrent updates to distinct replicas may lead to inconsistent data unless special concurrency control mechanisms are implemented. One solution:choose one copy as primary copy and apply concurrency control operations on primary copy Database System Concepts-6th Edition 19.7 ©Silberschat乜，Korth and Sudarshan

Data Fragmentation Division of relation r into fragments n,r2,...rn which contain sufficient information to reconstruct relation r. Horizontal fragmentation:each tuple of r is assigned to one or more fragments Vertical fragmentation:the schema for relation r is split into several smaller schemas All schemas must contain a common candidate key(or superkey)to ensure lossless join property. A special attribute,the tuple-id attribute may be added to each schema to serve as a candidate key. Database System Concepts-6th Edition 19.8 @Silberschatz,Korth and Sudarshan

Advantages of Fragmentation Horizontal: allows parallel processing on fragments of a relation allows a relation to be split so that tuples are located where they are most frequently accessed Vertical: allows tuples to be split so that each part of the tuple is stored where it is most frequently accessed tuple-id attribute allows efficient joining of vertical fragments allows parallel processing on a relation Vertical and horizontal fragmentation can be mixed. Fragments may be successively fragmented to an arbitrary depth. Database System Concepts-6th Edition 19.11 @Silberschatz,Korth and Sudarshan
