Now that the ERD is created, and as you are working  on the logical model, you need to choose an RDBMS for the final  solution. Using the method for DBMS selection, analyze 3 different DBMS  products available and make a determination about which product you will  recommend to management for selection. (One of the databases to analyze  must be MySQL).

Using the vendors' Web sites, determine a rating for the following features, and calculate a final score for each:

Based on your analysis, which database product will you recommend, and why?

As  you are designing and developing the database, you think to the future  and want to be able to grow the database as required, not only expanding  the data model as needed, but also in the event that the company wants  to open remote data centers and have replicated copies of the data.  Describe distributed databases and how they might be used.

Your post should include the following details:

• A completed template for 3 different database products (1 of them being MySQL) 
  • Comments must be supplied
• A recommendation for a DBMS, including a justification
• A description of distributed databases
