EvalTool for evaluate the partitioning scheme of distributed databases

Abstract

In this paper we present one tool named EvalTool for evaluate the partitioning scheme of distributed database. This tool could be use for calculate the best partition scheme both for horizontal and vertical partitioning, and then alocate the fragments in the right places over the network. We use an algorithm studied before, which could calculate some cost for access data to the local site and the other cost for access data from the remote site. The minimum value of this costs give the best fragmentation scheme for each relation. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
