Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distributed database systems are designed to integrate and manage different types of centralized DBMS which may vary in structure, format, and organization. Hence, the most appropriate choice is heterogeneous systems. Homogeneous systems are typically used when all the centralized DBMS in the network are identical or of the same type. Fully homogeneous systems may require a lot of overhead and may not be feasible in practice. Combination systems may also exist but are less common than heterogeneous systems.
