  • Remaining slides represent new material.

2
Classical and Distributed Architectures
  • Classic/Centralized DBMS Dominated the Commercial
    Market from 1970s Forward
  • Problems of this Approach
  • Difficult to Scale w.r.t. Performance Gains
  • If DB Overloaded, replace with a Faster Computer
  • this can Only Go So Far - Disk Bottlenecks
  • Distributed DBMS have Evolved to Address a Number
    of Issues
  • Improved Performance
  • Putting Data Near Location where it is Needed
  • Replication of Data for Fault Tolerance
  • Vertical and Horizontal Partitioning of DB Tuples

3
Common Features of Centralized DBMS
  • Data Independence
  • High-Level Representation via Conceptual and
    External Schemas
  • Physical Representation (Internal Schema) Hidden
  • Program Independence
  • Multiple Applications can Share Data
  • Views/External Schema Support this Capability
  • Reduction of Program/Data Redundancy
  • Single, Unique, Conceptual Schema
  • Shared Database
  • Almost No Data Redundancy
  • Controlled Data Access Reduces Inconsistencies
  • Programs Execute with Consistent Results

4
Common Features of Centralized DBMS
  • Promote Sharing Automatically Provided via CC
  • No Longer Programmatic Issue
  • Most DBMS Offer Locking for Key Shared Data
  • Oracle Allows Locks on Data Item (Attributes)
  • For Example, Controlling Access to Shared
    Identifier
  • Coherent and Central DB Administration
  • Semantic DB Integrity via the Automatic
    Enforcement of Data Consistency via Integrity
    Constraints/Rules
  • Data Resiliency
  • Physical Integrity of Data in the Presence of
    Faults and Errors
  • Supported by DB Recovery
  • Data Security Control Access for Authorized
    Users Against Sensitive Data

5
Shared Nothing Architecture
  • In this Architecture, Each DBMS Operates
    Autonomously
  • there is No Sharing
  • Three Separate DBMSs on Three Different Computers
  • Applications/Clients Must Know About the External
    Schemas of all Three DBMSs for
  • Database Retrieval
  • Client Processing
  • Complicates Client
  • Different DBMS Platforms(Oracle, Sybase,
    Informix, ..)
  • Different Access Modes(Query, Embedded, ODBC)
  • Difficult for SWE to Code

6
NW Architecture with Centralized DB
  • High-Speed NWs/WANs Spawned Centralized DB
    Accessible Worldwide
  • Clients at Any Site can Access Repository
  • Data May be Far Away - Increased Access Time
  • In Practice, Each Remote Site Needs only Portion
    of the Data in DB1 and/or DB2
  • Inefficient, no Replication w.r.t. Failure

7
Fully Distributed Architecture
  • The Five Sites (Chicago, SF, LA, NY, Atlanta)
    each have a Portion of the Database - its
    Distributed
  • Replication is Possible for Fault Tolerance
  • Queries at one Site May Need to Access Data at
    Another Site (e.g., for a Join)
  • Increased Transaction Processing Complexity

8
Goals of DDBMS
  • Support User Distribution Across Multiple Sites
  • Remote Access by Users Regardless of Location
  • Distribution and Replication of Database Content
  • Provide Location Transparency
  • Users Manipulate their Own Data
  • Non-Local Sites Appear Local to Any User
  • Provide Transaction Control Akin to Centralized
    Case
  • Transaction Control Hides Distribution
  • CC and Serializability - Must be Extended
  • Minimize Communications Cost
  • Optimize Use of Network - a Critical Issue
  • Distribute DB Design Supported by Partitioning
    (Fragmentation) and Replication

9
Goals of DDBMS
  • Improve Response Time for DB Access
  • Use a More Sophisticated Load Control for
    Transaction Processing
  • However, Synchronization Across Sites May
    Introduce Additional Overhead
  • System Availability
  • Site Independence in the Presence of Site Failure
  • Subset of Database is Always Available
  • Replication can Keep All Data Available, Even
    When Multiple Sites Fail
  • Modularity
  • Incremental Growth with the Addition of Sites
  • Dedicate Sites to Specific Tasks

10
Advantages of DDBMS
  • There are Four Major Advantages
  • Transparency
  • Distribution/NW Transparency
  • User Doesnt Know about NW Configuration
    (Location Transparency)
  • User can Find Object at any Site (Naming
    Transparency)
  • Replication Transparency (see next PPT)
  • User Doesnt Know Location of Data
  • Replicas are Transparently Accessible
  • Fragmentation Transparency
  • Horizontal Fragmentation (Distribute by Row)
  • Vertical Fragmentation (Distribute by Column)

11
Data Distribution and Replication
12
Advantages of DDBMS
  • Increased Reliability and Availability
  • Reliability - System Always Running
  • Availability - Data Always Present
  • Achieved via Replication and Distribution
  • Improved Performance
  • Sites Able to Utilize Data that is Local for
    Majority of Queries
  • Easier Expansion
  • Improve Performance of Site by
  • Upgrading Processor of Computer
  • Adding Additional Disks
  • Splitting a Site into Two or More Sites
  • Expansion over Time as Business Grows

13
Challenges of DDBMS
  • Tracking Data - Meta Data More Complex
  • Must Track Distribution (where is the Data)
  • V H Fragmentation (How is Data Split)
  • Replication (Multiple Copies for Consistency)
  • Distributed Query Processing
  • Optimization, Accessibility, etc., More Complex
  • Block Analysis of Data Size Must also Now
    Consider the NW Transmitting Time
  • Distributed Transaction Processing
  • TP Potentially Spans Multiple Sites
  • Submit Query to Multiple Sites
  • Collect and Collate Results

14
Challenges of DDBMS
  • Replicated Data Management
  • TP Must Choose the Replica to Access
  • Updates Must Modify All Replica Copies
  • Distributed Database Recovery
  • Recovery of Individual Sites
  • Recovery Across DDBMS
  • Security
  • Local and Remote Authorization
  • During TP, be Able to Verify Remote Privileges
  • Distributed Directory Management
  • Meta-Data on Database - Local and Remote
  • Must maintain Replicas of this - Every Site
    Tracks the Meta-Data for All Sites

15
A Complete Schema with Keys ...
Keys Allow us to Establish Links Between
Relations
what is this Similar to in ER?
16
and Corresponding DB Tables
which Represent Tuples/Instances of Each Relation
A S C null W B null null
1 4 5 5
17
with Remaining DB Tables
18
What is Fragmentation?
  • Fragmentation Divides a DB Across Multiple Sites
  • Two Types of Fragmentation
  • Horizontal Fragmentation
  • Given a Relation R with n Total Tuples, Spread
    Entire Tuples Across Multiple Sites
  • Each Site has a Subset of the n Tuples
  • Essentially Fragmentation is a Selection
  • Vertical Fragmentation
  • Given a Relation R with m Attributes and n Total
    Tuples, Spread the Columns Across Multiple Sites
  • Essentially Fragmentation is a Projection
  • In Both Cases, Sites can Overlap for Replication

19
Horizontal Fragmentation
  • Site 2 Tracks All Information Related to Dept. 5

20
Horizontal Fragmentation
  • Site 3 Tracks All Information Related to Dept. 4
  • Note that an Employee Could be Listed in Both
    Cases, if s/he Works on a Project for Both
    Departments

21
Refined Horizontal Fragmentation
  • Further Fragment from Site 2 based on Dept. that
    Employee Works in
  • Notice that G1 G2 G3 is the Same as WORKS_ON5
  • there is no Overlap

22
Refined Horizontal Fragmentation
  • Further Fragment from Site 3 based on Dept. that
    Employee Works in
  • Notice that G4 G5 G6 is the Same as WORKS_ON4
  • Note Some Fragments can be Empty

23
Homogeneous DDBMS
  • Homogeneous
  • Identical Software (w.r.t. Database)
  • One DB Product (e.g., Oracle) is Distributed and
    Available at All Sites
  • Uniformity w.r.t. Administration, Maintenance,
    Client Access, Users, Security, etc.
  • Interaction by Programmatic Clients is Consistent
    (e.g., JDBC or ODBC or )

24
Non-Federated Heterogeneous DDBMS
  • Non-Federated Heterogeneous
  • Different Software (w.r.t. Database)
  • Multiple DB Products (e.g., Oracle at One Site,
    Access another, Sybase, Informix, etc.)
  • Replicated Administration (e.g., Users Needs
    Accounts on Multiple Systems)
  • Varied Programmatic Access - SWEs Must Know All
    Platforms/Client Software Complicated

25
Federated DDBMS
  • Federated
  • Multiple DBMS Platforms Overlaid with a Global
    Schema View
  • Single External Schema Combines Schemas from all
    Sites
  • Multiple Data Models
  • Relational in one Component DBS
  • Object in another Component DBS
  • Hierarchical in a 3rd DBS

26
Federated DBMS Issues
  • Differences in Data Models
  • Reconcile Relation vs. Object-Oriented Models
  • Each Different Model has Different Capabilities
  • These Differences Must be Addressed in Order to
    Present a Federated Schema
  • Differences in Constraints
  • Referential Integrity Constraints in Different
    DBSs
  • Different Constraints on Similar Data
  • Federated Schema Must Deal with these Conflicts
  • Differences in Query Languages
  • SQL-89, SQL-92, SQL2, SQL3
  • Specific Types in Different DBMS (Blobs in Oracle)

27
Databases on WWW
  • Web has changed the way we do Business Research
  • Facts
  • Industry Saw an Opportunity, knew it had to Move
    Quickly to Capitalize
  • Lots of Action, Lots of Money, Lots of Releases
  • Line Between RD is Very Narrow
  • Many Researchers Moved to Industry (Trying to
    Return Back to Academia)
  • Emergence of Java
  • Java changed the way that Software was Designed,
    Developed, and Utilized
  • Particularly w.r.t. Web-Based Applications,
    Database Interoperability, Web Architectures,
    etc.
  • Emergence of Enterprise Computing

28
Internet and the Web
  • A Major Opportunity for Business
  • A Global Marketplace
  • Business Across State and Country Boundaries
  • A Way of Extending Services
  • Online Payment vs. VISA, Mastercard
  • A Medium for Creation of New Services
  • Publishers, Travel Agents, Teller, Virtual Yellow
    Pages, Online Auctions
  • A Boon for Academia
  • Research Interactions and Collaborations
  • Free Software for Classroom/Research Usage
  • Opportunities for Exploration of Technologies in
    Student Projects

31
Information Delivery Problems on the Net
  • Everyone can Publish Information on the Web
    Independently at Any Time
  • Consequently, there is an Information Explosion
  • Identifying Information Content More Difficult
  • There are too Many Search Engines but too Few
    Capable of Returning High Quality Data
  • Most Search Engines are Useful for Ad-hoc
    Searches but Awkward for Tracking Changes

32
Example Web Applications
  • Scenario 1 World Wide Wait
  • A Major Event is Underway and the Latest,
    Up-to-the Minute Results are Being Posted on the
    Web
  • You Want to Monitor the Results for this
    Important Event, so you Fire up your Trusty Web
    Browser, Pointing at the Result Posting Site, and
    Wait, and Wait, and Wait
  • What is the Problem?
  • The Scalability Problems are the Result of a
    Mismatch Between the Data Access Characteristics
    of the Application and the Technology Used to
    Implement the Application

33
Example Web Applications
  • Scenario 2
  • Many Applications Today have the Need for
    Tracking Changes in Local and Remote Data Sources
    and Notifying Changes If Some Condition Over the
    Data Source(s) is Met
  • If You Want to Monitor the Changes on Web, You
    Need to Fire Your Trusty Web Browser from Time to
    Time, and Cache the Most Recent Result, and do
    the Difference Manually Each Time You Poll the
    Data Source(s)
  • What is the Problem?
  • Pure Pull is Not the Answer to All Problems

34
What is the Problem?
  • Applications are Asymmetric but the Web is Not
  • Computation Centric vs. Information Flow Centric
  • Type of Asymmetry
  • Network Asymmetry
  • Satellite, CATV, Mobile Clients, Etc.
  • Client to Server Ratio
  • Too Many Clients can Swamp Servers
  • Data Volume
  • Mouse and Key Click vs. Content Delivery
  • Update and Information Creation
  • Clients Need to be Informed or Must Poll

35
Useful Solutions
  • Combination/Interleave of Pull and Push Protocols
  • User-initiated, Comprehensive Search-based
    Information Delivery (Pull)
  • Server-initiated Information Dissemination (Push)
  • Provide Support for a Variety of Data Delivery
    Protocols, Frequencies, and Delivery Modes
  • Information Delivery Frequencies
  • Periodic, Conditional, Ad-Hoc
  • Information Delivery Modes
  • Information Delivery Protocols (IDP)
  • Request/Respond, Polling, Publish/Subscribe,
    Broadcast
  • Information Delivery Styles (IDS)
  • Pull, Push, Hybrid

36
Information Delivery Frequencies
  • Periodic
  • Data is Delivered from a Server to Clients
    Periodically
  • Period can be Defined by System-default or by
    Clients Using their Profiles
  • Period can be Influenced by Client and Bandwidth
  • PDA/Cell Phone vs. PC w/Modem
  • PC w/DSL vs. PC w/Cable Modem
  • Conditional (Aperiodic)
  • Data is Delivered from a Server when Conditions
    Installed by Clients in their Profiles are
    Satisfied
  • Ad-hoc (or Irregular)

37
Information Delivery Modes
  • Uni-cast
  • Data is Sent from a Data Source (a Single Server)
    to Another Machine
  • 1-to-n
  • Data is Sent by a Single Data Source and Received
    by Multiple Machines
  • Multicast vs. Broadcast
  • Multicast Data is Sent to a Specific Set of
    Clients
  • Broadcast Sending Data Over a Medium which an
    Unidentified or Unbounded Set of Clients can
    Listen

38
IDP Request/Respond
  • Semantics of Request/Respond
  • Clients Send their Request to Servers to Ask the
    Information of their Interest
  • Servers Respond to the Client Request by
    Delivering the Information Requested
  • Client can Wait (Synchronous) or Not
  • Applications
  • Most Database Systems and Web Search Engines are
    Using the Request/Respond Protocol for
    Client-Server Communication

39
IDP Programmed Polling vs. User Polling
  • Semantics
  • Programmed Polling a System Periodically Sends
    Requests to Other Sites to Obtain Status
    Information or Detect Changed Values
  • User Polling a User or Application Periodically
    or Aperiodically Polls the Data Sites and Obtains
    the Changes
  • Applications
  • Programmed Polling Save the Users from having to
    Click, but does Nothing to Solve the Scalability
    Problems Caused by the Request/Respond Mechanism

40
IDP Publish/Subscribe
  • Semantics Servers Publish/Clients Subscribe
  • Servers Publish Information Online
  • Clients Subscribe to the Information of Interest
    (Subscription-based Information Delivery)
  • Data Flow is Initiated by the Data Sources
    (Servers) and is Aperiodic
  • Danger Subscriptions can Lead to Other Unwanted
    Subscriptions
  • Applications
  • Unicast Database Triggers and Active Databases
  • 1-to-n Online News Groups

41
IDP Broadcast
  • Semantics Server Broadcast/Client(s) Listen
  • Clients who Require Access to a Data Item Need to
    Wait Until the Item Appears
  • Selective Broadcast vs. Random Broadcast
  • Applications
  • Unicast Doesnt Address Network Bandwidth
    Problems
  • 1-to-n Most Likely to Prevail

42
Information Delivery Styles
  • Pull-Based System
  • Transfer of Data from Server to Client is
    Initiated by a Client Pull
  • Clients Determine when to Get Information
  • Potential for Information to be Old Unless Client
    Periodically Pulls
  • Push-Based System
  • Transfer of Data from Server to Client is
    Initiated by a Server Push
  • Clients may get Overloaded if Push is Too
    Frequent
  • Hybrid
  • Pull and Push Combined
  • Pull First and then Push Continually

Design Options for Nodes
  • Three Types of Nodes
  • Data Sources
  • Provide Base Data which is to be Disseminated
  • Clients
  • Who are the Net Consumers of the Information
  • Information Brokers
  • which Acquire Information from Other Data
    Sources, Add Value to that Information and then
    Distribute this Information to Other Consumers
  • By Creating a Hierarchy of Brokers, Information
    Delivery can be Tailored to the Need of Many Users

45
The Next Big Challenge
  • Interoperability
  • Heterogeneous Distributed Databases
  • Heterogeneous Distributed Systems
  • Autonomous Applications
  • Scalability
  • Rapid and Continuous Growth
  • Amount of Data
  • Variety of Data Types
  • Different Privacy Levels or Ownerships of Data

Connecting a DB to the Web
  • Web Server are Stateless
  • DB Interactions Tend to be Stateful
  • Invoking a CGI Script on Each DB Interaction is
    Very Expensive, Mainly Due to the Cost of DB Open

55
Connecting More Efficiently
  • To Avoid Cost of Opening Database, One can Use
    Helper Processes that Always Keep Database Open
    and Outlive Web Connection
  • Newly Invoked CGI Scripts Connect to a
    Preexisting Helper Process
  • System is Still Stateless

69
Data Warehousing and Data Mining
  • Data Warehousing
  • Provide Access to Data for Complex Analysis,
    Knowledge Discovery, and Decision Making
  • Underlying Infrastructure in Support of Mining
  • Provides Means to Interact with Multiple DBs
  • OLAP (on-Line Analytical Processing) vs. OLTP

  • Search for Patterns and Common Features based
  • Discover Information not Previously Known
  • Medical Records Accessible Nationwide
  • Research/Discover Cures for Rare Diseases
  • Relies on Knowledge Discovery in DBs (KDD)

70
Data Warehousing and OLAP
  • A Data Warehouse
  • Database is Maintained Separately from an
    Operational Database
  • A Subject-Oriented, Integrated, Time-Variant,
    and Non-Volatile Collection of Data in Support
    for Managements Decision Making Process
    W.H.Inmon
  • OLAP (on-Line Analytical Processing)
  • Analysis of Complex Data in the Warehouse
  • Attempt to Attain Value through Analysis
  • Relies on Trained and Adept Skilled Knowledge
    Workers who Discover Information
  • Data Mart
  • Organized Data for a Subset of an Organization

71

Data Warehouse Design
  • Most of Data Warehouses use a Start Schema to
    Represent Multi-Dimensional Data Model
  • Each Dimension is Represented by a Dimension
    Table that Provides its Multidimensional
    Coordinates and Stores Measures for those
    Coordinates
  • A Fact Table Connects All Dimension Tables with a
    Multiple Join
  • Each Tuple in Fact Table Represents the Content
    of One Dimension
  • Each Tuple in the Fact Table Consists of a
    Pointer to Each of the Dimensional Tables
  • Links Between the Fact Table and the Dimensional
    Tables for a Shape Like a Star

75
What is a Multi-Dimensional Data Cube?
  • Representation of Information in Two or More
    Dimensions
  • Typical Two-Dimensional - Spreadsheet
  • In Practice, to Track Trends or Conduct Analysis,
    Three or More Dimensions are Useful

76
Multi-Dimensional Schemas
  • Supporting Multi-Dimensional Schemas Requires Two
    Types of Tables
  • Dimension Table Tuples of Attributes for Each
    Dimension
  • Fact Table Measured/Observed Variables with
    Pointers into Dimension Table
  • Star Schema
  • Characterizes Data Cubes by having a Single Fact
    Table for Each Dimension
  • Snowflake Schema
  • Dimension Tables from Star Schema are Organized
    into Hierarchy via Normalization
  • Both Represent Storage Structures for Cubes
