A Novel Distributed Database Solution Based on MySQL

Relational database management systems (RDBMS) have served as the common choice for the storage of critical information in enterprises or organizations for decades. They are easily understood and applied, but traditional RDBMS exist some congenital shortcomings, such as expanding difficult. With the accelerating process of social informationization, the last few years have seen an explosive increase in the volume of data from various applications and they are likely to be stored in different sites. We have to face the uncomfortable fact that traditional RDBMS architectures have reached their limits and could no longer keep pace with the demand of modern society. In this paper, we introduce an innovative distributed database solution based on MySQL to meet the needs of horizontal scalability without affecting the specific implementation of application, which lets users think that it's a single MySQL database logically, actually being a distributed database system physically.
