Factors influencing self-healing in different databases
Self-healing mechanisms in databases are influenced by various factors, including the database architecture, data model, scalability needs, and the operational environment. Different database types, such as relational, NoSQL, NewSQL, and time-series databases, have distinct characteristics that impact the implementation of self-healing capabilities.
Relational databases
Relational databases are based on the relational data model and use Structured Query Language (SQL) for data manipulation. When considering self-healing in relational databases, several factors come into play:
- Replication strategies: Relational databases often employ replication techniques to achieve FT and HA. Self-healing mechanisms should consider factors such as synchronous or asynchronous replication, multi-master or master-slave architectures, and conflict resolution strategies. By maintaining replicas of data, self-healing databases can seamlessly...
