A Differential Data Replicator in Distributed Environments

In this paper a data replicator scheme with a distributed join architecture is suggested with its cost functions and the performance results. The contribution of this scheme is not only minimizing the number of base relation locks in distributed database tables but also reducing the remote transmission amount remarkably, which will be able to embellish the distributed databse system practical. The differential files that are derived from the active log of the DBMS are mainly forcing the scheme to reduce the number of base relation locks. The amount of transportation between relevant sites could be curtailed by the tuple reduction procedures. Then we prescribe an algorithm of data replicator with its cost function and show the performance results compared with the semi-join scheme in their distributed environments.
