DBMS: Distributed Database (Definitions)

"A database implemented on a network in which the component partitions are distributed over various nodes of the network. Depending on the specific update and retrieval traffic, distributing the database can enhance overall performance significantly." (Microsoft Corporation, "SQL Server 7.0 System Administration Training Kit", 1999)

"A database located at more than one site." (S. Sumathi & S. Esakkirajan, "Fundamentals of Relational Database Management Systems", 2007)

"A database with pieces stored on multiple computers on a network." (Rod Stephens, "Beginning Database Design Solutions", 2008)

"A database where portions of the database are stored on computers at physically distributed locations. The entire database is the sum of all the parts." (Jan L Harrington, "Relational Database Design and Implementation" 3rd Ed., 2009)

"A logically related database that is stored over two or more physically independent sites." (Carlos Coronel et al, "Database Systems: Design, Implementation, and Management" 9th Ed., 2011)

"A database whose tables are stored on different but interconnected computing systems." (Sybase, "Open Server Server-Library/C Reference Manual", 2019)
