Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for partitioning a database. The method for partitioning a database comprises: grouping a plurality of entries in the database into one or more entry groups, so that entries in the same entry group are always accessed together by one or more transactions; and dividing the one or more entry groups into a set number of partitions, so that a total number of transactions that access across more than one partition is minimized. By means of the present invention, it is possible to obtain an efficient, flexible and convenient method for partitioning a database, thereby greatly improving the system performance.
