Database which is physically stored in more than one computer. May be spread over a large geographic area.
"implies several computers, each one with a DBMS managing data stored on attached permanent storage devices; a general or local network...; and some facilities to manage data across the network". C. Esculier, Distributed Databases: state of the art, Computer Bulletin vol. 3, page 3, June 1987.
A single logical database whose data is stored on two or more servers.
One logical database whose data is spread across two or more computers. Users interact with the single, logical database, not the individual pieces. See also distributed processing.
Databases that provide services to all network applications and users across disparate platforms including hosts, minicomputers, and network systems.
a collection of data which are distributed over different computers of a computer network
a collection of data, which belong logically to the same system but are spread over the sites of computer network
a collection of information spread over two or more servers
a collection of multiple, logically interrelated databases distributed over a computer network
a collection of partially independent databases that share a common schema, and coordinate processing of non-local transactions
a collection of several, logically interrelated database located at multiple locations of a computer network
a database where different objects may be stored at different sites and where the users may issue transactions at any site in the system
a network of databases managed by multiple database servers that appears to a user as a single logical database
a network of databases managed by multiple database servers that are used together
a set of databases stored on multiple computers that appears to applications as a single database
a single logical database comprising multiple physical databases at different nodes
A database that is spread across more than one location.
A collection of several different data repositories that looks like a single database to the user. A prime example in the Internet is the Domain Name System. [Source: RFC1392
A database that is not stored in a central location but is dispersed over a network of interconnected computers. A database under the overall control of a central Database Management System (DBMS) but whose storage devices are not all attached to the same processor. A database that is physically located in two or more distinct locations.
A database stored on more than one networked computer. The database is split up across these machines, and not replicated.
database whose objects (tables, views, columns and/or files) reside on more than one system in a network, and can be accessed or updated from any system in the network.
A set of geographically distributed data connected by a computer network and controlled by a single DBMS running at all the sites.
A database that is physically located on more than one computer processor. It is connected via some form of communications network. An essential feature of a true distributed database is that users or programs work as if they had access to the whole database locally.
A collection of several different data repositories that look like a single database to the user. The Domain Name Service (DNS) is a distributed database.
A single, logical database that is physically located on two or more computers, connected via some form of communications network. An essential feature of a true distributed database is that the user and/or program work as if they had access to the whole database locally. All processing to give this impression is carried out by the database management system. See also distributed processing.
A collection of several different data repositories that lookslike a single database to the user. A prime example in theInternet is the Domain Name System. DIX Ethernet
Database that exists in many separate locations throughout a network or the Internet. 13.39
database that consists of two or more data files located at different sites on a computer network. Because the database is distributed, different users can access it without interfering with one another.
An application in which there are many clients as well as many servers. All databases at remote and local sites are treated as if they were one database. The data dictionary is crucial in mapping where all the data resides.
A distributed database is a database that is under the control of a central database management system (DBMS) in which storage devices are not all attached to a common CPU. It may be stored in multiple computers located in the same physical location, or may be dispersed over a network of interconnected computers.
