DATABASE 2 Distributed Databases  Definition  Advantages / Uses  Problems / Complications  Client-Server / SQL Server  Microsoft Access Britain Germany France Italy SELECT Sales FROM Britain.Sales UNION SELECT Sales FROM France.Sales UNION SELECT Sales FROM Italy.Sales

DATABASE 3 Distributed Database Definition  Multiple independent databases  Each DBMS is a complete DBMS (engine, queries, locking, transactions, etc.)  Usually on different machines.  Usually in different locations.  Connected by a network.  Might be different environments  Hardware  Operating System  DBMS Software Database Zeus Database Apollo Database Athena United States England France

DATABASE 4 Distributed Database Rules  C.J. Date  Rule 0: Transparency: the user should not know or care that the database is distributed.  Local autonomy.  No reliance on a central site.  Continuous operation.  Location independence.  Fragmentation independence (physical storage).  Replication independence.  Distributed query processing.  Distributed transaction management.  Hardware independence.  Operating system independence.  Network independence.  DBMS independence.

DATABASE 5 Distributed Features  Each database can continue to run even if portion fails.  Data and hardware can be moved without affecting operations or users.  Expanding operations.  Performance issues.  System expansion and upgrades.  Add new section without affecting others.  Upgrade hardware, network and DBMS.

DATABASE 6 Advantages and Applications  Business operations are often distributed  Work and data are segmented by department.  Work and data are segmented by geographical location.  Improved performance  Most updates and queries are performed locally.  Maintain local control and responsibility over data.  Can still combine data across the system.  Scalability and expansion  Add on, not replacement. local transactions future expansion

DATABASE 7 Creating a Distributed Database  Design administration plan.  Choose hardware and DBMS vendor, and network.  Set up network and DBMS connections.  Choose locations for data.  Choose replication strategy.  Create backup plan and strategy.  Create local views and synonyms.  Perform stress test: loads and failures.

DATABASE 8 Distributed Query Processing  Networks are slow  Drives: MB per sec.  LANs: 1-10 MB per sec ( mbps).  WANs: MB per sec.  Faster is possible but expensive!  SANs: MB per sec.  Goal is to minimize transmissions.  Each system must be capable of evaluating queries--preferably SQL.  Results depend heavily on how the system joins tables MB MB MB Disk drive LAN WAN

DATABASE 9 Customers(C#, …) 1,000,000 NY Products(P#, Color…) 10,000,000 Sales(S#, C#, Sdate) 20,000,000 SaleItem(S#, P#,…) 50,000,000 Chicago LA Distributed Query Processing  Example  NY: Customers: 1 M rows  LA: Production: 10 M rows  Chicago: Sales: 20 M rows  Query: List customers who bought blue products on March 1  Bad idea #1 Transfer all rows to Chicago Then JOIN and select.  Better idea #2 (probably) Transfer blue products from LA to Chicago  Better idea #3 Get sale items on March 1 Get blue products from LA Send C# to NY P# sold on March 1 Blue P# sold on March 1 C# list from desired P# Matching Customer data

DATABASE 10 Data Replication  Goals  Minimize transmissions  Improve performance  Support heavy multiuser access.  Problems  Updating copies Bulk transmissions Site unavailable  Concurrency Easier for two people to change the same data at the same time.  Decision support systems.  Data warehouse. Britain: Customers & Sales France: Customers & Sales Spain: Customers & Sales Britain Britain: Customers & Sales France: Customers & Sales Spain: Customers & Sales Spain Update data. Market research & data corrections. Periodic updates

DATABASE 11 Concurrency and Locks  Each DBMS must maintain lock facility.  To update, each DBMS must utilize and recognize other lock mechanisms and return codes.  Each DBMS must have a deadlock resolution protocol that recognizes the distributed databases.  Random wait.  Optimistic updates.  Two-phase commit. DBMS #1 Accounts Jones8898 DBMS #2 Accounts Jones3561 Transaction A Locked Waiting Transaction B Waiting Locked

DATABASE 12 Transactions & Two-Phase Commit  Two (or more) separate lock managers.  DBMS initiating update serves as the coordinator.  Two phases  Coordinator sends message and data to all machines to “get ready.”  Local machines save data in logs, verify update status and return message.  If all locals report OK, then coordinator writes log and instructs others to proceed. If any fail, it sends Rollback message. Database 1 Initiate Transaction Database 2 Database 3 1. Prepare to commit. All agree? 2. Commit Lock tables. Save log. Update all tables.

DATABASE 13 Distributed Transaction Managers Transaction Processing Monitor Transaction Manager Resource Manager Transaction Manager Resource Manager Transaction Manager Resource Manager DBMS The distributed transaction coordinator/transaction processing monitor handles the transaction decisions and coordinates across the participating systems.

DATABASE 14 Distributed Design Questions

DATABASE 15 Distributed Databases In Oracle  Database Links  Full database names.  CONNECT command.  Linking through synonyms.  CREATE SYNONYM …  Central control over permissions.  Linking through Views/queries.  CREATE VIEW AS …  Can assign local permissions.  Linking through stored procedures.  DELETE …  Strong control over actions. Server database View Synonym: Employee Procedure: DELETE FROM Employee WHERE... user permissions User can only run procedure. No other access.

DATABASE 16 Client-Server Server Clients Shared Database Front-end User Interface

DATABASE 17 LAN File Server  Not a distributed database.  Data file stored on server.  Server is passive, appears as giant disk drive to PC.  PC processes all data.  Retrieves all needed data across the network.  Performance improvements.  Indexes are crucial.  Store some data on each PC (replication).  Store applications on PC (graphics & forms).  Convert to SQL-Server File Server DBMS data file Application Shared Data SELECT Name, SaleDate FROM Customer INNER JOIN Sales ON Customer.C# = Sales.C# WHERE SaleDate BETWEEN #1-Mar-97# AND #9-Mar-97#; All data from all tables are read by PC, which performs JOIN and WHERE test. If available, reads index first.

DATABASE 18 LAN File Server: Slow File Server CustIDName… 115Jenkins… 125Juarez... Order... MyFile.mdb Forms SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE City = “Sandy” DBMS software transferred. Application and query transferred. One row at a time transferred, until all rows are examined.

DATABASE 19 Client-Server Databases  One machine machine is dominant (server) and handles data for many clients.  Client machines handle front-end tasks and small data tables that are not shared. File Server DBMS SQL Server Shared Data application SELECT... Send SQL statement. Return matching data.

DATABASE 20 ADO and Direct Connections Database Server Visual Basic application DBMS transport ADO Client Computer DBMS transport Server Computer SELECT … Results The Database vendor provides its own data transport (e.g,. Oracle or SQL Server) installed on the server and the client. ADO provides a driver that connects your application to the transport services. ODBC can serve as the data transport if nothing else is available

DATABASE 21 Three-Tier Client-Server  Server Databases  Client front-end  Middle  Locate databases  Business rules  Program code Client Middleware Database Servers Application. Front-end. User Interface. Databases. Transactions. Legacy applications. Database links. Business rules. Program code.

DATABASE 24 The Internet as Client-Server Client Browser Server Web Server Router Internet HTML pages Forms Graphics request information

DATABASE 25 HTML Limited Clients My main page My text goes in paragraphs. Additional tags set boldface and Italic. Tables are more complicated and use a set of tags for rows and columns. First cell Second cell Next row Second column There are form tags to create input forms for collecting data. But you need CGI program code to convert and use the input data.

DATABASE 26 HTML Output

DATABASE 27 Web Server Database Fundamentals Client/Browser Web Server HTML form 1 Data DBMS 2 Form.html Query Database Result Query Template + Code Program code Page = Template + Result Result Page Form CGI String 0 Request Server/Form.html HTML Form
