Abstract
A system and method for integrating business logic into a database system is disclosed herein. A database system may comprise a first database cluster H and a second database cluster L. After records are separated into the first database cluster H and the second database cluster L, the total number of records in the second database cluster L is compared to a target number of records. If there are too many records in the second database cluster L, a randomly generated number is used to randomly move records from second database cluster L into first database cluster H. In a situation where the first database cluster H is faster and accessed more often, such a method results in more products being placed in the faster database cluster and become more likely to become purchased. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.
