When attempting to handle data fragmentation in distributed database systems, when is it appropriate to utilise data replication? It would seem that the processes of replication and fragmentation cannot coexist in any meaningful way. What is the function of horizontal fragmentation in contrast to the role that is played by vertical fragmentation? You will need to present an example for me to buy into your line of reasoning if you want me to do so.

When should distributed database systems employ data replication to address data fragmentation if it is a problem? It seems that the processes of fragmentation and replication are incompatible. What distinguishes vertical fragmentation from horizontal fragmentation? Give me an example so I can better grasp your position.

Discuss the challenges and trade-offs involved in implementing deadlock avoidance mechanisms in distributed databases. How do these mechanisms affect system performance and availability?

It is known that the customer tables are initially stored on a centralized database server. To increase efficiency in access and operational costs, the database was made distributed in several branch areas. An example of a customer table looks like this:   a. There are several types of fragmentation, explain! What type do you use if you do fragmentation of the table above? Explain how the fragmentation is done and give reasons why choosing this type!b. Describe how the fragmented table will look like and describe it according to 3 rules (completeness, reconstruction, disjointness).

Describe different approaches to data replication in distributed databases, such as primary-backup, multi-master, and eventual consistency. What are their trade-offs?

Replication or data fragmentation, which is preferable in a distributed database system? If we combine fragmentation with replication, what do you think? Is it possible to tell whether a file is fragmented in a vertical or horizontal direction? You need to back up your assertion with an example.

Data fragmentation can be defined in various manners. Does the term "data fragmentation" evoke any associations or implications for you?
