Accessing Data From Multiple Heterogeneous Distributed Database Systems

Author(s):

This chapter describes the method to retrieve data from multiple heterogeneous distributed relational database management systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, MS Access, etc. into Oracle RDBMS using Oracle's Heterogeneous Gateway Services. The complete process starting from downloading and installation of required software, creation of data source names using open database connectivity, modification of system parameter files, checking connections, creation of synonyms for tables of remote databases into oracle, creation of database links and accessing data from non-oracle databases using database links is explained in great detail. Apart from this, data manipulation in remote databases from Oracle and execution of PL/SQL procedures to manipulate data residing on remote databases is discussed with examples. Troubleshooting common errors during this process is also discussed.

Distributed database management systems manage a huge amount of data as well as large and increasingly growing number of users through different types of queries. Therefore, efficient methods for accessing these data volumes will be required to provide a high and an acceptable level of system performance.  Data in these systems are varying in terms of types from texts to images, audios and videos that must be available through an optimized level of replication. Distributed database systems have many parameters like data distribution degree, operation mode and the number of sites and replication. These parameters have played a major role in any performance evaluation study. This paper investigates the main parameters that may affect the system performance, which may help with configuring the distributed database system for enhancing the overall system performance.
