摘要:
In a system that switches multiple database servers to separate computers, a switching order of the database servers is variably changed and set. In the system that allows an executive system computer and a standby system computer having the database servers to share a database respectively, the system is switched from the database server of the executive system computer to the database server of the standby system computer. Information (order information) that indicates an order in which the system of the executive system database server is switched is registered in a storage device. The order information is changed by detection of the occurrence of an event in the executive system computer. The system switching processing is performed from the executive system database server to the standby system database server in accordance with the changed order information.
摘要:
The present invention provides a system switching function for database management systems which requires no standby resources idling during normal operation. One aspect of the invention is directed to a method for processing databases in a system which includes a plurality of storage areas each storing a database and a plurality of computers each having a database management program running thereon which manages one of the plurality of storage areas. Each storage area is associated with only the computer managing the storage area. The method comprises, when a failure has occurred in one of the plurality of computers as a failed computer, obtaining preset substitution information indicating that the storage area managed by the database management program running on the failed computer is to be managed by the database management program running on another one of the plurality of computers as a substitute computer; and, based on the substitution information, changing association of the storage area with the failed computer to the substitute computer. The storage area is to be managed by the database management program running on the substitute computer.

摘要:
This invention provides a method of controlling switching of computers according to a cause of failure without preparing one standby node for each active node. For n active nodes (200), m standby nodes (300) of different characteristics (in terms of CPU performance, I/O performance, communication performance, and the like) are prepared. The m standby nodes (300) are assigned in advance with priority levels to be failover targets for each cause of failure. When a failure occurs in one active node (200), a standby node that can remove the cause of the failure is chosen out of the m standby nodes (300) to take over data processing.
摘要:
A database processing system for analyzing a query issued to a database to generate a corresponding execution procedure for performing database processing in accordance therewith. A plurality of columns for storing data each constituted by a set of instances and conditions concerning the instances constituting the plurality of columns are entered. A query is inputted which contains a predicate for evaluating whether a set of instances which meet the designated conditions and which can be identified with the same subscript exists among the sets of instances stored in the plurality of columns. In response to the query, a decision is made as to whether or not an index has been generated for one or plural columns specified in the query predicate. When the index is generated, the index is accessed to acquire an identifier of table data which is “true” for a predicate. Unless the index is generated, a decision is then made as to whether or not column data acquired by accessing the database meet the conditions specified in the predicate contained in the query.
摘要:
In an implementation method for executing a general database processing, index definition information for setting a specific user-defined function in correspondence to a specific index which is used to carry out an index access to data in a database region is created, and module definition information for setting the specific index which is used to carry out the index access to the data in the database region in correspondence to an implementation module for subjecting the data in the database region to a specific processing is created. When it is determined that the user-defined function contained in a processing request is set in correspondence to the specific index on the basis of the index definition information, a specific implementation module for carrying out an access using the specific index is selected, and a database processing is performed using the implementation module.
摘要:
In a database management method, a plurality of nodes are instructed to execute queries to the data base stored in a storage. A computer receives the input of the queries, and divides each input query into a plurality of processing phases constituting units capable of being executed in parallel. Based on the feature of the processing phases and the operating condition of each node at the time of execution of the processing phases of each query, the processing phases of the query are distributed among the nodes. The predetermined intended application of each node and the application of each query specified by the type of the query are compared with each other thereby to specify the nodes to which the processing phases are distributed.
