I know from litterature studies that when considering distributed databases,
distributed relational database systems use query shipping and
object-oriented database systems use data shipping,
This can have a major effect on the performance of a distributed database
system when the distributed database
has only minimal bandwith between nodes. But since i don't know if you are
considering using a distributed database i can not judge if this information
has helped you any further.
