distributed database

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

distributed database

A database physically stored in two or more computer systems. Although geographically dispersed, a distributed database system manages and controls the entire database as a single collection of data. If redundant data are stored in separate databases due to performance requirements, updates to one set of data will automatically update the additional sets in a timely manner. See replication.


distributed database - A collection of several different databases that looks like a single database to the user. An example is the Internet Domain Name System (DNS).
