Distributed Database

Distributed databases allow organizations to access data across multiple databases as if it were a single database. They offer benefits like tunability, fault tolerance, and scalability. An Oracle DBA's duties include installing, patching, and maintaining Oracle software, tuning database components, approving production changes, controlling migrations, designing backup/recovery systems, and implementing failover technology.

1) Distributed Database:-

Any organization that uses the Oracle relational database management system (RDBMS) these
days needs to use multiple databases. There are many reasons to use more than a single
database in a distributed database system:

* Different databases may be associated with particular business functions, such as


manufacturing or human resources.
* Databases may be aligned with geographical boundaries, such as a behemoth database at a
headquarters site and smaller databases at regional offices.
* Two different databases may be required to access the same data in different ways, such as
an order entry database whose transactions are aggregated and analyzed in a data warehouse.
* A busy Internet commerce site may create multiple copies of the same database to attain
horizontal scalability.
* A copy of a production database may be created to serve as a development test bed.

In a distributed database environment, data in two or more databases is accessible as if it were in


a single database. Usually, the different databases are on different servers, which may be located
at the same site or a continent away. Communication between the servers takes place via
SQL*Net (for Oracle7) or Net8 (for Oracle8). Distributed database environments offer a number of
benefits over single- database systems, including:

* Tunability
* Platform autonomy
* Fault tolerance
* Scalability
* Location transparency
* Site autonomy
