14 Sharded Databases
This chapter provides information about the Sharded Database metrics.
Sharding is a data tier architecture in which data is horizontally partitioned across independent databases. Each database is hosted on a dedicated server with its own local resources - CPU, memory, flash, or disk, and each database in such a configuration is called a shard. All the shards together make up a single logical database, which is referred to as a sharded database (SDB).
Global Service Manager
This chapter provides information about the metric categories available for the Global Service Manager target.
In support of Oracle Sharding, Global Service Managers support routing of connections based on data location. A global service manager, in the context of Oracle Sharding, is known as a shard director.
