Question on: SS3 ICT - Database
Compare and contrast the characteristics of an in-memory database and a distributed database, including their advantages and limitations.
In-Memory Database:
Advantages: Extremely fast data retrieval due to data residing in memory, ideal for applications requiring low-latency access.
Limitations: Limited by available memory size, data is volatile and can be lost in case of system failure without proper backup mechanisms.
Distributed Database:
Advantages: Scalability and fault tolerance through data distribution across multiple servers or locations, suitable for large-scale applications.
Limitations: Complex to set up and maintain, potential for network latency, and data consistency challenges in distributed environments.
