At
Site C

Remote request

SELECT * FROM INVOICE WHERE INV_TOT > 1000;

Remote request

SELECT * FROM PRODUCT WHERE PROD_QOH < 10;

Distributed request

BEGIN WORK;

Distributed transaction

UPDATE CUSTOMER SET CUS_BAL = CUS_BAL + 100

WHERE CUS_NUM = 10936;
INSERT INTO INVOICE (INV_NUM, CUS_NUM,
INV_DATE,
INV_TOTAL)
VALUES
(986391,
10936, 15-FEB-2010, 100);
INSERT INTO INV_LINE(INV_NUM, PROD_NUM,
LINE_PRICE) VALUES (986391, 1023, 100);
UPDATE PRODUCT SET PROD_QOH = PROD_QOH 1
WHERE PROD_NUM = 1023;

At
Site A

At
Site B

COMMIT WORK;
SELECT CUS_NUM, CUS_NAME, INV_TOTAL FROM Distributed request
CUSTOMER, INVOICE WHERE CUSTOMER.CUS_NUM =
INVOICE.CUS_NUM;
SELECT * FROM INVOICE WHERE INV_TOT > 1000; Remote request
SELECT * FROM PRODUCT WHERE PROD_QOH < 10;

Distributed request

SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER;

Remote request

INVOICE
WHERE
INV_TOTAL
>
1000
AND

SELECT * FROM PRODUCT WHERE PROD_QOH < 10;
