Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is a common challenge in distributed databases?
Correct Answer: Network latency
  • Step 1: Understand what a distributed database is. It is a database that is spread across multiple locations or servers.
  • Step 2: Recognize that these locations are connected through a network, like the internet.
  • Step 3: Identify that when you access data from a distributed database, your request has to travel over this network.
  • Step 4: Learn about network latency, which is the delay that happens when data travels over the network.
  • Step 5: Realize that high network latency can slow down the speed of accessing data and completing transactions.
  • Step 6: Conclude that managing network latency is a common challenge for distributed databases.
