Abstract:
Distributed Database Management System
(DDBMS) is a software system that permits the
management of the distributed database and makes
the distribution transparent to users. DDBMS
consists of a single logical database that is split into
a number of fragments. Each fragment is stored on
one or more computer under the control of a
separate DBMS and is connected by communication
networks. The distributed library system is used
vertical fragmentation method. Book information,
loan information and member information are
vertically fragmented and stored at three different
sites. The system is also proposed as a peer to peer
distributed database by using Java programming
language and Microsoft Access Database.
