DEFINITION A distributed database is a database where data management is distributed over several nodes (computers) in a computer network. In a central DBMS the data is managed by one node whereas in a distributed DBMS the data is managed by several nodes. A distributed DBMS is a database manager consisting of several nodes distributed over a network. Each node is a database manager by itself t...

A distributed database (DDB) is a collection of multiple, logically interrelated databases distributed over a computer network. A distributed database management system (distributed DBMS) is the software system that permits the management of the distributed database and makes the distribution transparent to the users [1]. The term Òdistributed database systemÓ (DDBS) is typically used to refer ...

Motivated by the need to extract knowledge and value from interconnected data, graph analytics on big data is a very active area of research in both industry and academia. To support graph analytics efficiently a large number of in memory graph libraries, graph processing systems and graph databases have emerged. Projects in each of these categories focus on particular aspects such as static ve...

Distributed database system acts like NFS (Network File System) for database system. The system allows transparent access to databases running on other servers on the network. The SPring-8 database system has grown since the commissioning in 1997. A single database server becomes harder to handle new requirements like very fast data storage and data mining from huge sized archived data. Distrib...

The author wants to submit the endeavor about the Distributed Database storage concepts and usefulness in large enterprises. One of the most useful storage technique for Distributed Database is sharding and the concept of database sharding has gained popularity over the past several years due to the enormous growth in transaction volume and size of business-application databases and database se...

Volume 2, Issue 2 March – April 2013 Page 95 Abstract: In distributed database, data resides in various sites and many transactions can originate at any number of sites randomly. These transactions can execute concurrently. This concurrency leads to deadlock in which transactions may enter into an infinite waiting state so deadlock handling is an important criteria in distributed transaction pr...
