Abstract

In recent past, the bookstores generate more data such as customer details, transaction details, book details, etc. for analyzing them to make data-driven decisions. These data are stored in a centralized database. In centralized database system, the data are stored in a single site or location and that are managed. The major drawback is that if the centralized system gets crashed the entire data are lost and also it makes access bottleneck when more users need to access the database. In order to overcome these limitations, the distributed database system is used to store the business data by locating them in different databases that are located in different sites in different location. The distributed database maintains the replication and duplication that ensure the availability and fault tolerance on the data. The distributed system also provides the high accessibility to the users. Thus, this paper presents a distributed database for a bookstore to improve availability, fault tolerance, and accessibility. This distribution also maintains the transparency and supports the database properties such as atomicity, consistency, inheritance and durability (ACID). Furthermore, this distributed database is designed with four sites and each site keeps the bookstore data for access and analyses. This distributed database is constructed and accessed using structured query language (SQL) with MySQL relational database management system (RDBMS). It also provides the security and work even in offline mode.
