When attempting to handle data fragmentation in distributed database systems, when is it appropriate to utilise data replication? It would seem that the processes of replication and fragmentation cannot coexist in any meaningful way. What is the function of horizontal fragmentation in contrast to the role that is played by vertical fragmentation? You will need to present an example for me to buy into your line of reasoning if you want me to do so.
