Designing Distributed Database Systems for Efficient Operation

Designing Distributed Database Systems for Efficient Operation

Sangkyu Rho, Salvatore March

Distributed database systems can yield significant cost and performance advantages over centralized systems for geographically distributed organizations. The efficiency o f a distributed database depends primarily on the data allocation (data replication and placement) and the operating strategies (where and h ow retrieval and update query processing operations are performed). W e develop a distributed database design approach that comprehensively treats data allocation and operating strategies, explicitly modeling their interdependencies for both retrieval and update processing. W e demonstrate that data replication, join node selection, and data reduction b y semijoin are important design and operating decisions that have significant impact on both the cost and response time of a distributed database system.
