<p>The focus of this dissertation is on large-scale and long-running networked real-time multiplayer games. In this type of games, each player controls one or many entities, which interact in a shared virtual environment. Three attributes - scalability, security, and fault tolerance - are considered essential for this type of games. The normal approaches for building this type of games, using a client/server or peer-to-peer architecture, fail in achieving all three attributes. We propose a server-network architecture that supports these attributes. In this architecture, a cluster of servers collectively manage the game state and each server manages a separate region of the virtual environment. We discuss how the architecture can be extended using proxies, and we compare it to other similar architectures. Further, we investigate how a distributed database management system can support the proposed architecture. Since efficiency is very important in this type of games, some properties of traditional database systems must be relaxed. We also show how methods for increasing scalability, such as interest management and dead reckoning, can be implemented in a database system. Finally, we suggest how the proposed architecture can be validated using a simulation of a large-scale game.</p>

Many organizations use relational databases (RDB) at this time. These databases can be different producers (Oracle, MS SQL Server and etc.), operate different operating systems and use different software. But the main problem if organizations want collaborate they must exchange data between them. Sometimes if they use different data structures exchange data between them is very hard or impossible. If they want integrate different databases they must use general standard. This standard must be adjustable for different databases. One of the general standards is XML. The main purpose of this project was to analyse two functional requirements supply methods (UML and Communication Action Loops), possible architecture decisions and separate replication streams of distributed databases. One of the possible architecture decisions is replication using XML. Considering to this was created the appropriate software tool. Using this software, administrator can manipulate data and exchange data between two databases (MS SQL Server and Oracle) using XML. We have same data in two databases and we need write same date in two different databases and in this project used XML to solve this problem.
