Q:

Difference between clustering and mirroring .

Answer

- Clustering means one than one database server configured for the same user connection. When users connect, one of the server’s responds and connects based on availability. The user is completely ignorant of the fact that there are more than one database servers. It demands high cost due to infrastructure needs. Clustering is hence done on server level.


- Mirroring means, one has many configured databases on the same server. Mirrors are basically copies of the original database. Mirroring is hence done on database level.

Q:

What is the difference between agglomerative and divisive Hierarchical Clustering?

Answer

- Agglomerative Hierarchical clustering method allows the clusters to be read from bottom to top and it follows this approach so that the program always reads from the sub-component first then moves to the parent. Whereas, divisive uses top-bottom approach in which the parent is visited first then the child. 


- Agglomerative hierarchical method consists of objects in which each object creates its own clusters and these clusters are grouped together to create a large cluster. It defines a process of merging that carries on till all the single clusters are merged together into a complete big cluster that will consists of all the objects of child clusters. Whereas, in divisive the parent cluster is divided into smaller cluster and it keeps on dividing till each cluster has a single object to represent.
