Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a new incremental implementation approach of a Distributed Database (DDB). On one hand, the frequent need to add and/or delete number of sites in the geographical distribution of a DDB has become a requirement of the user. On the other hand, we find that the already existing Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS) does not even offer an automatic implementation for a Distributed Database, which has been initially allocated to a predefined number of sites. In this approach, we propose a weak coupling with any existing DDBMS. This consists in garnishing all DDBMS with an intelligent layer that offers: 1) a convivial interface for an incremental definition of the different sites in the DDB, 2) an incremental design approach to DDB while knowing fragmentation attributes and 3) an automatic update of the scripts in the different sites. To validate our approach, we have used Oracle as an example of DDBMS.
