Distributed database systems are designed to store and manage data across multiple sites or nodes, which can be geographically dispersed. The primary goal of a distributed database system is to provide a unified view of the data, while ensuring that the data is consistent, reliable, and easily accessible. In this write-up, we will discuss the principles of distributed database systems and provide solutions to exercises that illustrate these principles.

Wait-for graph edges: T1 at Site1 waits for T2 at Site2. T2 at Site2 waits for T3 at Site1. T3 at Site1 waits for T1 at Site1.

Design a distributed query to retrieve all tuples from R1 and R2.

The system ensures distribution by storing data across multiple sites. The data is fragmented and distributed across the three sites, providing a unified view of the data.
