Distributed Database Management Systems Rajat sharan errajatsharan@gmail.com Abstract: The dream of computing power as readily available as the electricity in a wall socket is coming closer to reality with the arrival of grid and cloud computing. At the same time‚ databases grow to sizes beyond what can be efficiently managed by single server systems. There is a need for efficient distributed database management systems (DBMSs). Current distributed DBMSs are not built to scale to more

Chapter 1: Database Systems Summary • Data are raw facts. Information is the result of processing data to reveal their meaning. Accurate‚ relavant and timely information is the key to good decision making and good decision making is the key to organizational survival in a global environment • Data are usually stored in a database. To implement a database and manage its contents you need a database management system (DBMS). DBMS serves as an intermediary between the user and the

1. Advantages of database over Advantages of spread sheets; One of the advantages of database is that it reduced data redundancy this is because in databases‚ there is an identifier. The identifier is the primary key‚ where when it is entered‚ all other details‚ which saved under the primary key‚ will be revealed. Therefore‚ there’ll be less repetition of data. Next‚ databases improved data integrity‚ which it will guaranteed the data proven to be correct. Linked to the primary key function‚ the

there has been a controversial issue dealing with building a national DNA database. This issue has been brought up over the discussion of the actual database and what kinds of effects will come out of it‚ if it actually happens to go through. Some people think the database will be a force in crime fighting. Others think it is a violation of civil liberties. In the early 1900s‚ “fingerprinting‚” a new crime-fighting database‚ was developed. With the exception of identical twins‚ no two people have

Relational Database Design By Paul Litwin This paper was part of a presentation at a Microsoft TechEd conference in the mid-1990s. It was adapted from Microsoft Access 2 Developer’s Handbook‚ Sybex 1994‚ by Ken Getz‚ Paul Litwin and Greg Reddick. Reprinted with permission of the publisher. While the paper uses Microsoft Access (version 2) for the examples‚ the vast majority of the discussion applies to any database and holds up pretty well over 11 years after it was written.

The entity-relationship model (or ER model) is a way of graphically representing the logical relationships of entities (or objects) in order to create a database. entity type is a collection of entity instances sharing similar properties Strong Entity Vs Weak Entity An entity set that does not have sufficient attributes to form a primary key is termed as a weak entity set. An entity set that has a primary key is termed as strong entity set. A weak entity is existence dependent. That is the
