Distributed Databases Questions
The role of a distributed database management system (DDBMS) is to manage and coordinate the storage, retrieval, and access of data across multiple interconnected databases that are geographically distributed. It ensures data consistency, availability, and reliability in a distributed environment by providing mechanisms for data replication, partitioning, and synchronization. DDBMS also handles query optimization and transaction management to ensure efficient and reliable data processing across the distributed database system.
