Describe the range of distributed database environments
What will be an ideal response?
The range of distributed databases falls into two categories: homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous environments have the same DBMS at each node, either working independently, called autonomous, or using a central DBMS to coordinate database access and updates across nodes. Heterogeneous environments can have different DBMSs at each node and can either be systems or gateways. A gateway is simply a path to other databases. Systems can either include full database functionality or partial database functionality.
