What additional functions does a ddbms have over a centralized dbms?

A Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS) offers several additional functions over a centralized DBMS, including data distribution across multiple locations, which enhances data availability and reliability. It enables data replication and fragmentation for improved performance and fault tolerance. Additionally, a DDBMS supports data transparency, allowing users to access and manipulate data without needing to know its physical location, and provides mechanisms for distributed transactions to ensure consistency across the network.
