Abstract:
Techniques are provided for creating, organizing, and maintaining a sharded database. A sharded database can be created using user-defined sharding, system-managed sharding, or composite sharding. The sharded database is implemented with relational database techniques. The techniques described provide improvements to load distribution, organization, query processing, and schema propagation in a sharded database.

Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, the system enables access to a sharded database using a cache and a shard topology. A shard-aware client application connecting to a sharded database can use a connection pool (e.g., a Universal Connection Pool, UCP), to store or access connections to different shards or chunks of the sharded database within a shared pool. As new connections are created, a shard topology layer can be built at the database driver layer, which learns and caches shard key ranges to locations of shards. The shard topology layer enables subsequent connection requests from a client application to use a fast key path access to the appropriate shard or chunk.

Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for providing direct access to a sharded database. A shard director provides access by software client applications to database shards. A connection pool (e.g., a Universal Connection Pool, UCP) and database driver (e.g., a Java Database Connectivity, JDBC, component) can be configured to allow a client application to provide a shard key, either during connection checkout or at a later time; recognize shard keys specified by the client application; and enable connection by the client application to a particular shard or chunk. The approach enables efficient re-use of connection resources, and faster access to appropriate shards.
