Homogeneous DDBMS
In a homogeneous distributed database all sites have identical software and are aware of each other and agree to cooperate in processing user requests. Each site surrenders part of its autonomy in terms of right to change schema or software. Homogeneous DDBMS appears to user as a single system. The homogeneous system is much easier to design and manage. The following conditions must be satisfied for homogeneous database. The operating system used, at each location must be same or compatible. The data structures used at each location must be same or compatible. The database application (or DBMS) used at each location must be same or compatible.

Famous quotes containing the word homogeneous:
“O my Brothers! love your Country. Our Country is our home, the home which God has given us, placing therein a numerous family which we love and are loved by, and with which we have a more intimate and quicker communion of feeling and thought than with others; a family which by its concentration upon a given spot, and by the homogeneous nature of its elements, is destined for a special kind of activity.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
