Part A

a

What is distributed database system?

2 marks

Answer

A Distributed Database System (DDBS) is a collection of multiple, logically interrelated databases distributed over a computer network. The system is managed by a Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS), which ensures that the distribution is transparent to the user, meaning the user perceives the system as a single, centralized database.
b

Explain briefly about peer to peer systems.

3 marks

Answer

A Peer-to-Peer (P2P) system is a decentralized network architecture where each node (peer) acts as both a client and a server. Unlike client-server models, there is no central authority or server. Peers share resources, such as files, processing power, or storage, directly with one another. These systems are highly scalable and resilient to single-point failures, as the removal of one peer does not disrupt the entire network.

Define semi join operation.
