ABSTRACT A Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS) is a system that manages a database that is spread across multiple physical locations, yet functions as a single logical entity. The key benefits of DDBMS include improved performance, reliability, and availability, as well as the ability to scale and handle large datasets. This paper explores the concepts, components, types, and architecture of DDBMS, along with the advantages and challenges of distributed databases. Moreover, it delves into recent advancements in the field, including fault tolerance, query processing, and consistency models. Lastly, the paper reviews future trends and research directions, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of distributed database technologies.
