Managing Fragmented Database Replication for Mygrants Using Binary Vote Assignment on Cloud Quorum

Abstract

Replication in distributed database is the process of copying and maintaining database objects in multiple databases that make up a distributed database system. In this paper, we will manage fragmented database replication and transaction management for Malaysian Greater Research Network (MyGRANTS) using a new proposed algorithm called Binary Vote Assignment on Cloud Quorum (BVACQ). This technique will combine replication and fragmentation. Fragmentation in distributed database is very useful in terms of usage, efficiency, parallelism and also for security. This strategy will partition the database into disjoint fragments. The result shows that managing replication and transaction through proposed BVACQ able to preserve data consistency. It also increases the degrees of parallelism. This is because by using fragmentation, replication and transaction can be divided into several subqueries that operate on the fragments.
