Abstract
This paper presents an empirical study on the challenges of the distributed database system. The paper reflects on the understanding of what are the different issues and challenges in the past years. The literature review demonstrates the identified solutions to the specific problems, as well as the lapses of the distributed database system, and examines the state of current research on the topic and points out gaps in the existing literature. The findings of the study revealed that a distributed database system encountered a lot of issues in the past years, but this technology has been overcome most of the challenges. However, there are still issues that still persist in recent years and have yet to be addressed adequately which affect the performance of this technology. These problems provide insight for further studies and keep the future researchers as well as distributed database system implementers quite busy for some time to come.
