A database processing system including a plurality of partitioned databases. Data processing is performed with pieces of information processing apparatus associated with each of the partitioned databases respectively. In response to a query, a status table indicating availability of each information processing apparatus is read from the storage. Of the pieces of information processing apparatus for processing the received query, at least a serviceable one is determined as a process request destination. A process request corresponding to the query is transmitted to the information processing apparatus determined as the process request destination. The process request is received through a communication unit, and data on the database are consequently processed. A processing result is transmitted to a transmitting source through the communication unit.

Method and system for data processing with parallel database systems

Database processing including processing for a shared table is efficiently executed. Processing for a database including a shared table which can be referred to by a plurality of database processing devices is managed. Table information indicating database processing devices allocated according to an attribute of a table in a database and a processing type is referred to via a storage. According to whether or not a processing request for the database includes processing for a shared table, a database processing device to execute the processing request is selected. The database processing request is issued to the selected database processing. According to the database processing request, the database processing device accesses the database.
