Users
There are many users who use the distributed database. For them, the fact that the database is spread across multiple locations is transparent and they perceive the database to be one whole construct.
Global schema
The global schema shows the overall design of the database. It helps to logically understand the design of the whole database as in reality the database is not stored at any one place and spread over various systems.
Database modules
