DDBMS (distributed database management system)
A DDBMS (distributed database management system) is a centralized application that manages a distributed
database as if it were all stored on the same computer. The DDBMS synchronizes all the data
periodically, and in cases where multiple users must access the same data, ensures that updates and
deletes performed on the data at one location will be automatically reflected in the data stored
elsewhere.
