Question

Explain how network partitioning is handled in replicated databases

Answer 1

A network is said to be partitioned when it has been split into 2 or more subsystems. These subsystems lack any connection in between them. It is important to note that a subsystem may consist of a single node.

A replication is extendable across a computer network, so the disks can be located in physically distant locations, and the master-slave database replication model is usually applied. The purpose of replication is to prevent damage from failures or disasters that may occur in one location.

Replication Manager Applications automatically handle duplicate master situations.
