This document is an exam for a Distributed Database Management Systems course, consisting of 5 questions testing student knowledge. Question 1 defines distributed DBMS and asks about differences between shared memory and shared disk multiprocessors as well as dependency structures and transparency layers. Question 2 covers view creation in centralized DBMS, autonomy, distribution, and heterogeneity in distributed systems as well as vertical fragmentation algorithms. Question 3 covers relational algebra operations, conflict serializability with examples, and peer-to-peer architectures. The remaining questions cover topics like anomalies, fragmentation testing, query processing, optimization, authorization, two-phase commit, transaction management objectives, checkpoints, and locking protocols.
