<h1 class="topictitle1">Planning and design</h1>
<div><p>The first requirement for the successful operation of a distributed
relational database is thorough planning. You must consider the needs and
goals of your enterprise when making the decision to use a distributed
relational database. </p>
<p>How you code an application program, where it resides in relation to the
data, and the network design that connects application programs to data are
all important design considerations. </p>
<p> Database design in a distributed relational database is more critical
than when dealing with just one <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> relational
database. With more than one <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> to
consider, you must develop a consistent management strategy across the network.
The following operations require particular attention when forming your strategy: </p>
<ul><li>General operations</li>
<li>Networking protocol</li>
<li>System security</li>
<li>Accounting</li>
<li>Problem analysis</li>
<li>Backup and recovery processes</li>
</ul>
<p>To prepare for a distributed relational database, you must understand both
the needs of the business and relational database technology.</p>
