  - In a homogenous distributed database system, each database is an Oracle database.
  
  - In a heterogeneous distributed database system, at least one of the databases is a non-Oracle database.
  
  - Distributed databases use a client/server architecture to process information requests.
  
  - Client/Server Database Architecture
  - A database server is the Oracle software managing a database, and a client is an application that requests information from a server.
  - Each computer in a network is a node that can host one or more databases.
  - Each node in a distributed database system can act as a client, a server, or both, depending on the situation.
  - A client can connect directly or indirectly to a database server.
  - A direct connection occurs when a client connects to a server and accesses information from a database contained on that server.
  - In contrast, an indirect connection occurs when a client connects to a server and then accesses information contained in a database on a different server.
