networ k. Net�o�k transparency 1s bas1ca .. IIy one of �he properties of or· the
. distrib ut ed database.
Actually m d1str_1buted databases when a �s�r wants to access data and if that parti
cular
data does not. exist on user computer then 1t 1s the. responsibility of DBMS to provide the
data fro� any c:>t?er co1:1puter where it exists. User does not know about this thing as
from whe�� data 1s commg. Network transparency also means roaming transparency and
it gives �he freedom of entering query from any workstation to a user. So a user does aoc
know from where the resu]ts of query are C()ming as results may be coming from user
workstation or any other workstation. Here the term roaming means that if a user moves
from one place to other then all other users does not know about this.
Replication transparency:·· . · .
A copy of each fr�gment can be maintained at several sites. Data replication is the design
process -0f deciding which: fragment� wiJI be replicated. A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM
often employs DATA REPLICATION to ensure a fast response from databases and ro
enable the system .to be resilient to hardware errors. Replication transparency is the term
used tci describe the fact that the user should be unaware that data is replicated.

b) Heterogeneous-databases:
A heterogeneous DDBMS uses instead at least two different DBMSs. Heterogen�ous
DDBMSs add the problem of translating between the different data models of �e­
different local DBMss· to the complexity of homogeneous DDBMSs. For this reas?n� it
