5 Database Management System (DBMS) Collection of Collection of –interrelated data and –set of programs to access the data Convenient and efficient processing of data Convenient and efficient processing of data Database Application Software Database Application Software

Farkas6 Abstraction View level: different perspectives View level: different perspectives –application programs hide irrelevant data Logical level: data models Logical level: data models –Logical representation of data –Different approaches: relational, hierarchical, network, object oriented, semi-structured, etc. – Data independence principle Physical level: how data is stored Physical level: how data is stored

Motivation for DBMS Integrate related data Integrate related data Provide centralized and controlled access to data Provide centralized and controlled access to data Farkas7

Computer Network Distributed processing: Distributed processing: –Number of autonomous processing elements that are interconnected by computer network –Cooperate to perform their assigned tasks Farkas8

What to distribute? Processing logic/element Processing logic/element Functions Functions Data Data Control of execution Control of execution Farkas9

Why to distribute? Intuition Intuition Reliability Reliability Performance Performance Farkas10

Distributed Database Systems Distributed database: Distributed database: –Collection of multiple, logically interrelated databases that are distributed over a computer network Distributed DBMS: software system that Distributed DBMS: software system that –Permits the management of the distributed database and –Makes the distribution transparent to the user Farkas11

Data Delivery Data storage and query processing Data storage and query processing Data delivery: Data delivery: –Delivery mode: push, pull, hybrid –Frequency: periodic, conditional, ad-hoc, irregular –Communication method: unicast, one-to-many Farkas12

DDBMS Services Transparent data management Transparent data management –Distributed, replicated data –Transparency: network, replica, fragmentation Reliable access to data Reliable access to data –Distributed transactions –Failure atomicity Improved performance Improved performance Flexible expansion Flexible expansion Farkas13

Difficulties Everything that is present in traditional DBs Everything that is present in traditional DBs Replica control Replica control –Data retrieval –Data update Dealing with failures Dealing with failures Synchronization Synchronization Farkas14

DDBMS Issues Database design Database design Directory management Directory management Query processing Query processing Concurrency control Concurrency control Deadlock management Deadlock management Reliability Reliability Replication Replication Farkas15
