Recovery in distributed database system ppt

Distributed databases Name Emirates Aviation University Advanced Database System 4th November 2020 Introduction A database is a collection of information stored in a computer in a cohesive way that makes it easy to access and perform operations on it. Computer databases are mostly used to store data in relation to how an organisation interacts with its customers, as well as the files relating to said interactions. [1] There are different ways of representing data in a database, but the main ones are relational and non-relational databases. Relational databases are ones where data is stored in rows and columns while non-relational databases do not use the row-column format. They use the data structure deemed most appropriate as per the data that is to represent. In another way, you can view the database type based on the architecture used. Here you have distributed databases and centralised database[2]. A centralised database is a database that is situated, stored and maintained from just one location. On the other hand, a distributed system which will be the main focus of this report is one which consists of several databases that are connected together and spread through several locations. With the above background, we will be diving deeper into distributed databases. We will drive deeper into how it is implemented, what necessitates their creation, their advantages and disadvantages and how to mitigate the disadvantages. We will also look into types of distributed systems and give some examples of them. We will also look deeper into the implementation of the different type of distributed systems. We will compare them and see why one would choose one and not the other.
