The Evolution of Distributed Database
Management Systems
• Distributed database management system
(DDBMS)
– Governs storage and processing of logically
related data over interconnected computer
systems in which both data and processing
functions are distributed among several sites

The Evolution of Distributed Database
Management Systems (continued)

data be stored in a single central site
• Dynamic business environment and
centralized database’s shortcomings
spawned a demand for applications based on
data access from different sources at multiple
locations

Levels of Data and Process Distribution
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
19
12
Single-Site Processing,
Single-Site Data (SPSD)
• All processing is done on single CPU or host
computer (mainframe, midrange, or PC)
• All data are stored on host computer’s local
disk
• Processing cannot be done on end user’s
side of system
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
20
12
Single-Site Processing,
Single-Site Data (SPSD) (continued)
• Typical of most mainframe and midrange
computer DBMSs
• DBMS is located on host computer, which is
accessed by dumb terminals connected to it
• Also typical of first generation of single-user
microcomputer databases
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel

Multiple-Site Processing,
Single-Site Data (MPSD)
• Multiple processes run on different computers
sharing single data repository

running under personal computer network, fit
such a description

distributed database’s integrity and
consistency
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
32
12
Distributed Requests and Distributed
Transactions
• Distributed transaction
– Can update or request data from several
different remote sites on network
• Remote request
– Lets single SQL statement access data to be
processed by single remote database
processor
• Remote transaction
– Accesses data at single remote site
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
33
12
Distributed Requests and Distributed
Transactions (continued)

much more likely to create data
inconsistencies and deadlocked transactions
than are single-site systems

(continued)
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
41
12
Two-Phase Commit Protocol
• Distributed databases make it possible for
transaction to access data at several sites
• Final COMMIT must not be issued until all
sites have committed their parts of
transaction
• Two-phase commit protocol requires each
individual DP’s transaction log entry be
written before database fragment is actually
updated
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
42
12
Performance Transparency
and Query Optimization
• Objective of query optimization routine is to
minimize total cost associated with execution
of request
• Costs associated with request are function of:
– Access time (I/O) cost
– Communication cost
– CPU time cost
• Must provide distribution transparency as well
as replica transparency
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
43
12
Performance Transparency
and Query Optimization (continued)
• Replica transparency
– DDBMS’s ability to hide existence of multiple
copies of data from user
• Query optimization techniques include:
– Manual or automatic
– Static or dynamic
– Statistically based or rule-based algorithms
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
44
12
Distributed Database Design

– How to partition database into fragments
• Data replication
– Which fragments to replicate
• Data allocation
– Where to locate those fragments and replicas
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
45
12
Data Fragmentation
• Breaks single object into two or more
segments or fragments
• Each fragment can be stored at any site over
computer network
• Information about data fragmentation is
stored in distributed data catalog (DDC), from
which it is accessed by TP to process user
requests
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
46
12
Data Fragmentation (continued)
• Strategies
– Horizontal fragmentation
• Division of a relation into subsets (fragments) of
tuples (rows)
– Vertical fragmentation
• Division of a relation into attribute (column)
subsets
– Mixed fragmentation
• Combination of horizontal and vertical
strategies

Data Replication
• Storage of data copies at multiple sites
served by computer network
• Fragment copies can be stored at several
sites to serve specific information
requirements
– Can enhance data availability and response
time
– Can help to reduce communication and total
query costs
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
55

Data Replication (continued)
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
56
12
Data Replication (continued)
• Replication scenarios
– Fully replicated database
• Stores multiple copies of each database
fragment at multiple sites
• Can be impractical due to amount of overhead
– Partially replicated database
• Stores multiple copies of some database
fragments at multiple sites
• Most DDBMSs are able to handle the partially
replicated database well
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
57
12
Data Replication (continued)
• Replication scenarios (continued)

• Allocation strategies
– Centralized data allocation
• Entire database is stored at one site
– Partitioned data allocation
• Database is divided into several disjointed parts
(fragments) and stored at several sites
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
59
12
Data Allocation (continued)
• Allocation strategies (continued)
– Replicated data allocation
• Copies of one or more database fragments are
stored at several sites
• Data distribution over computer network is
achieved through data partition, data
replication, or combination of both
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
60
12
Client/Server vs. DDBMS
• Way in which computers interact to form
system
• Features user of resources, or client, and
provider of resources, or server
• Can be used to implement a DBMS in which
client is the TP and server is the DP
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
61
12
Client/Server vs. DDBMS (continued)
• Client/server advantages
– Less expensive than alternate minicomputer
or mainframe solutions
– Allow end user to use microcomputer’s GUI,
thereby improving functionality and simplicity
– More people in job market have PC skills than
mainframe skills
– PC is well established in workplace
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
62
12
Client/Server vs. DDBMS (continued)
• Client/server advantages (continued)
– Numerous data analysis and query tools exist
to facilitate interaction with DBMSs available in
PC market
– Considerable cost advantage to offloading
applications development from mainframe to
powerful PCs
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
63
12
Client/Server vs. DDBMS (continued)
• Client/server disadvantages
– Creates more complex environment
• Different platforms (LANs, operating systems,
and so on) are often difficult to manage
– An increase in number of users and
processing sites often paves the way for
security problems
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, & Management, 7th Edition, Rob & Coronel
64
12
Client/Server vs. DDBMS (continued)
• Client/server disadvantages (continued)
– Possible to spread data access to much wider
circle of users
• Increases demand for people with broad
knowledge of computers and software
• Increases burden of training and cost of
maintaining the environment
