Architectures of Distributed Database Systems
Distributed database systems have evolved with a variety of architectures to cater to diverse computing needs. The three predominant distributed DBMS architectures are:
1. Client-Server Architecture
- In a client-server architecture, multiple clients interact with a few servers over a network.
- Clients initiate queries, which are then processed by one of the available servers, typically the earliest one to respond.
- This architecture is known for its simplicity and ease of implementation due to its centralized server system.
2. Collaborating Server Architecture
- The collaborating server architecture is engineered to execute a single query across multiple servers.
- Servers decompose a single query into smaller components, and the combined result is forwarded to the client.
- It boasts a collection of database servers, each proficient in handling concurrent transactions across databases.
