ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 Question 29
ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 — Question 29 of 80
Distributed Database — identify the correct definition.
A distributed database stores data across multiple physical locations, with processing distributed among those sites — while appearing as a single unified database to users.
Why not others:
- (a) — describes shared access to a single server, not distribution of data itself
- (b) — describes open data sharing for researchers, unrelated to database architecture
- (c) — NoSQL vs RDBMS is about data model, not distribution; distributed databases can be relational
Key rule: "Distributed" means data and processing are split across locations, not just access.
