1. Properties of Data Replication : Replication can increase read performance Replication can be used to integrate heterogeneous systems that uses different databases. Replication can be used for both failure and disaster recovery The costs of using replication is decreased update performance and the costs of managing consistency problems. (Relaxed ACID properties may be used in order to minimize inconsistency).

2. Cases where replication designs and extended transactions are recommended: ERP systems E-commerce Electronic health records (Elektronisk patientjournal) Logistics Airline reservation systems CSCW systemer Distributed calender systems Mobile integrated database applications Supply chain management Banking systems Library systems

3. Overview of different types of replication designs: Suppose all replication designs have n physical copies of the same logical table. In the n-safe replication design, all n copies are consistent and up to date. In the quorum-safe design, a quorum of the n copies are consistent and up to date. In the 1-safe design, only one of the n copies is consistent and up to date. In the 0-safe design, none of the copies are consistent and up to date. The inconsistencies can be managed by using countermeasures.

4. Rules for using Data Replication in Distributed Databases with Relaxed ACID Properties 1.Use only replicated data when it is necessary for availability or economical reasons. 2.The 0-safe design with local commit is recommended when it is important to update in disconnected mode and it is possible to implement sufficient local countermeasures against the isolation anomalies. 3.The 0-safe design with deferred commit is recommended when it is important to update in disconnected mode and it is not possible to implement sufficient local countermeasures against the isolation anomalies. 4.The 1-safe designs are recommended in situations when real time update is not important in disconnected mode. Therefore, updates must wait until the primary copy location has committed the updates. Please notice that the basic 1-safe designs is the cheapest replication method.

5. Design Rules for Replicating Data in Distributed Databases with Relaxed ACID Properties 5.The quorum-safe design is not recommended as it is only used in DDBMS (Distributed Database Management Systems). 6.The n-safe design and especially the 2-safe design are only recommended in practice when the are implemented in hardware or managed by the operative system. DDBMSs (Distributed Database Management System) can also manage the n-safe designs but DDBMSs are not used in practice as they are too complex.

6. The Basic 1-safe Design: The 1-safe designs are recommended in situations when real time update is not important in disconnected mode. Therefore, updates may wait until the primary copy location has committed the updates. The basic 1-safe designs is the cheapest replication method.

7. Suppose the ERP system and B2B E-commerce system are heterogeneous. Which ERP tables would you recommend to replicate by using the Basic 1-safe design?

8. Replication Example: The basic 1-safe design is recommended when it does not make major problems if updates are delayed for hours or even days. In the “Danish medicine card” system, all hospitals and private physicians must transfer their medicine prescriptions to a central database by using the 0- safe design with local commit. What replication design would you recommend for the Medicine types? Medicine prescriptions Medicine types

9. The basic 1-safe Design The 1-safe Design with commutative updates In the basic 1-safe replication design, lost transaction may occur when the secondary location takes over after a primary copy failure. Why can lost transactions not occur in the 1-safe design with commutative updates?

10. The Basic 1-safe Design Example: The basic 1-safe design is recommended when it does not make major problems if updates are delayed for hours or even days. Example: Which of the 1-safe designs would you recommend for the Disease types table? Where would you recommend to store the back up of this table?

11. Entities with different versions of 0-safe design Which of the 1-safe designs would you recommend?

12. The 0-safe design with local commit: The 0-safe design with local commit is recommended when it is important to update in disconnected mode and it is possible to implement sufficient local countermeasures against the isolation anomalies. Example.

13. The 0-safe design with deferred commit: The 0-safe design with deferred commit is recommended when it is important to update in disconnected mode and it is not possible to implement sufficient local countermeasures against the isolation anomalies. Example.

14. 0-safe Design Example: In the “Danish medicine card” system, all hospitals and private physicians must transfer their medicine prescriptions to a central database by using the 0- safe design with local commit. Which type of 0-safe replication design would you recommend for the Medicine prescriptions? Medicine prescriptions Medicine types

15. Where would you recommend the different types of 0-safe design? Entities with the 1-safe design

16. Electronic Health Records Deffered commitLocal commit 3.The 0-safe design with local commit is recommended when it is important to operate in disconnected mode, and it is possible to implement sufficient local countermeasures against the isolation anomalies. 4.The 0-safe design with deferred commit is recommended when it is important to operate in disconnected mode, and when it is not possible to implement sufficient local countermeasures against the isolation anomalies.

40. Horizontal fragmentation: Global table Fragment 1 Fragment 2 Fragments = The non-redundant and non-overlapping parts of a global distributed table. Fragments may be allocated in many different locations.

41. Vertikal Fragmentation: Example: In an employ table some attribytes/fragments may be confidential and stored in a secure location.

42. Fragmentation rules: Vertical fragmentation supports distribution by function where different functions use different attributes. Horizintal fragmentation supports geografical distribution where different locations use different rows.

43. Mixed Fragmentation: Horizontal fragmentation on a vertical fragmentation.

44. Allokation of fragments: Allocation is the physical placement of fragments in different locations. Allocated fragments may be redundant.

45. DDBMS fragmentation and allocation: Physical tables. Fragments Global Tabel. = Physical table in location ”i” = Fragment ”j” = Fragment ”j” in location ”i” Example with 3 fragments and 3 locations:

46. Entities with different versions of 0-safe design Entities with 1-safe design Describe your recommendations for distributed table fragmentation?

47. A distributed ERP system = A set of local ERP systems integrated in such a way that each local system can use the resources/stocks managed by the other local ERP systems. Would you recommend the distributed ERP architecture for a mobile salesman?

48. Properties of Distributed ERP systems: The stocks of other locations may be used in case a product is sold out in its local location. That is, a mobile ERP system without its own stocks may use any stock location. An E-comers location may also be viewed as an ERP location without its own stocks. In this situation the users are there own ERP salesmen. The development costs of such an E- commerce software product are reduced to almost nothing. The extra costs for developing a distributed ERP system is also very low if short duration locking is used anyway. Migration to a new ERP version is more flexible as the converting process do not need to take place overnight. (The reason why is that the stocks of the old ERP system may be used by the new ERP system until the converting process is over).

49. Which tables in Distributed ERP system would you recommend to replicate? 1.Use only replicated data when it is necessary or convenient for economical reasons. 2.The 0-safe design with local commit is recommended when it is important to update in disconnected mode and it is possible to implement sufficient local countermeasures against the isolation anomalies. 3.The 0-safe design with deferred commit is recommended when it is important to update in disconnected mode and it is not possible to implement sufficient local countermeasures against the isolation anomalies. 4.The 1-safe designs are recommended in situations when real time update is not important in disconnected mode. Therefore, updates may wait until the primary copy location has committed the updates. Please notice that the basic 1-safe designs is the cheapest replication method.

50. Should a traveling salesman have the primary copy property of the customers that are going to be visited?

51. Allokation of fragments: Is it possible to optimize the Product and Product stock tables by integrating them to a single table locally? Allocation is the physical placement of fragments in different locations. Allocated fragments may be replicated. Exercise: How are the tables fragmented and allocated in a distributed ERP system?

52. Replication in a distributed ERP system: Orders are fragmented and without replication Fragmented and 0-safe with primary copy commit. Fragmented and without replication Not fragmented and basic 1-safe. Local customers are fragmented and has the basic 1-safe design. Global customers are fragmented and has the 0-safe with primary copy commit. Should all attributes in a table have the same replication design? (Analyze the Orderlines or Products ).

53. Dynamic fragmentation and allokation: Dynamis allocation is the physical placement of dynamic created fragments. Exercise: What should happen before any sale, if a customer goes to a new sales location?

54. A distributed modular ERP system have relaxed ACID properties across the autonomous databases of the ERP modules.

55. If ERP modules only use services from each other then they can be migrated/exchanged individually. That is the ERP production module may be exchanged with hospitals service modules and the customers may be called patients. The Account, Procurement, and HRM modules may be used unchanged. The CRM module should change name to EHR (Electronic Helth Records) as EHR is more complex than CRM.

56. A data model for an integrated E- commerce/ERP system: Exersice. Suppose a distributed modular ERP system has Accounting, Sale, Procurement, and CRM modules. What tables/table fragments should these modules own?

57. Exercise: Describe and design the local databases for a distributed brewery with many different production, sale and depot locations. Can the earlier described distributed ERP system be used?

58. Design a Distributed Airline Database Design an integrated distributed database that integrate the databases of different airline companies in a way that optimize performance, availability and consistency of a common distributed airline system with local databases in the airline companies, airports, and “sale offices” at e.g. travel agents, hotels and e-commerce servers.

59. Exercise: Design the workflow and an integrated distributed database that integrate the databases of different airline companies and hotel chains in a way that optimize performance, availability and consistency of a common distributed system with local databases in the airline companies, hotel chains, airports, car rental companies, and “sale offices” at e.g. travel agents, hotels and e- commerce servers. Describe the workflow of the integrated e-commerce system.
