SAD Unit 4 Distributed Database Components, Types

This document discusses components and types of distributed database systems. It covers two main topics: 1) The five main components of a distributed database management system (DDBMS) which are the network hardware and software, transaction processor, computer workstations, communication media, and data processors. 2) The two types of distributed database systems - homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous DDBMSs use identical database management systems across all sites while heterogeneous DDBMSs use different DBMSs, operating systems, and data models at different sites.

1. Homogeneous DDBMS:
In a homogeneous distributed database, all the sites use
identical DBMS and operating systems. Its properties are − Distributed DBMS can
be classified as:
 The sites use very similar software.
 The sites use identical DBMS or DBMS from the same vendor. 1. Homongeneous DDBMS
 Each site is aware of all other sites and cooperates with other
sites to process user requests.
 The database is accessed through a single interface as if it is a 2. Heterogeneous DDBMS
single database
 Much easier to design and manage.
 Approach provides incremental growth and allows increased
performance

Site 1 Site 3

Site 2

Here, this is oracle homogeneous distributed DBMS .In this all systems must
have same oracle software for storing databases like oracle 9i as shown above.
2. Heterogeneous Distributed DBMS

In a heterogeneous distributed database,
different sites have different operating systems,
DBMS products and data models. Its properties
are −
 Different sites use dissimilar database schemas
and different DBMS software.
 The system may be composed of a variety of
DBMS models like relational, network, hierarchical
or object oriented.
 Query processing is complex due to dissimilar
schemas.
 Transaction processing is complex due to
dissimilar software.
 A site may not be aware of other sites and so there
is limited co-operation in processing user requests.

In this case we have different databases like MS Access,Oracle 9i and SQL server 2009 as shown in figure.

DDBMS

 Translations required to allow for:


 Different hardware.
 Different DBMS products.
 Different hardware and different DBMS
products.

 In this DBMS, user make request in their


own language at local sites, then it transfer
request over communication network and
appropriate translation is performed.
