Distributed database

Management Systems
Week-3
In the previous Lecture…..

In today’s lecture
• Distributed Database Design
➡ Distributed DB dimensions
➡ Distributed DB Designing approaches
➡ Design Process
➡ Fragmentation
➡ Data distribution
Design Problem
• In the general setting :
➡ Making decisions about the placement of data and programs across the sites of a
computer network as well as possibly designing the network itself.

• In Distributed DBMS, the placement of applications entails


➡ placement of the distributed DBMS software; and
➡ placement of the applications that run on the database
Dimensions of the problem
Distributed DB Design Approaches
• Top-down
➡ mostly in designing systems from scratch
➡ mostly in homogeneous systems
• Bottom-up
➡ when the databases already exist at a number of sites
Framework 4 Top-Down Design Process
Fragmentation
• What is fragmentation?

• Types of data fragmentation:

• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Mixed (Hybrid)
