059. How can data be distributed?
There are two common methods
for distributing data:
1. Replicated databases. In this approach, data is gathered at some point in
time and merged together by some central location, and then distributed to all
(or some) of the remote sites.
2. Partitioned databases. In this approach, only the data that is most
typically used at any remote site is given to that site. If they require
additional data, they can communicate with one of the other remote sites.
