Abstract
This document describes the database issues related to the Proactive
Data Management System (PDMS) [6]. PDMS uses databases for a number of tasks.
PDMS uses the Replica Location Service (RLS) [5], that is implemented using a
database and can propagate updates between database servers. It also uses the
Meta Catalogue Service (MCS) [7] schema, in another database. PDMS also
currently uses the Reliable File Transfer (RFT) [3] service that also uses a
database. Furthermore, PDMS uses a database to save its internal state so that
its internal state is preserved between server restarts. The rest of this
document is organized as follows: Section 2 gives an overview of relational
databases. Section 3 describes database issues for the main PDMS server.
Section 4 describes the RLS service, how it is used by PDMS and its database
dependencies. Section 5 does the same for the MCS service and Section 6
describes database issues with the RFT service. Section 7 concludes the
document.
