Distributing Database
Distributed database: Data is stored in more than one physical location
Central database is Partitioned for each remote processor
Changed in local files can be justified on a batch basis
Advantage
Increase reliability and availability Easier expansion Reflects organizational structure Local autonomy or site autonomy Protection of valuable data Improved performance Economics Reliable transactions Continuous operation Distributed Query processing Distributed Transaction management
Disadvantage
Complexity Economics Security Difficult to maintain integrity Inexperience Lack of standards Database design more complex DDS software is required.
