Describe the challenges of data consistency in a distributed database system. How do techniques like strict two-phase locking and timestamp-based protocols address these challenges?

Explain the CAP theorem in the context of distributed databases. How do consistency, availability, and partition tolerance trade-offs impact database development?

Describe the challenges associated with achieving consistency in a distributed database system. How do techniques like Two-Phase Commit (2PC) and Three-Phase Commit (3PC) address these challenges?

In a distributed database environment, what are the key challenges related to data consistency, and how can these challenges be addressed using techniques such as two-phase commit (2PC) and three-phase commit (3PC)?
