Abstract
An update method in which a computer updates data stored in a first storage device by copying a plurality of files stored in the first storage device to a second storage device and writing the files updated in the second storage device back to the first storage device, the plurality of files constituting a part of a database. The update method includes a query determination for determining whether a query for requesting writing to one of the files stored in the second storage device is based on a cluster key of the database, low-frequency file identification for identifying a file having a low writing frequency among the files stored in the second storage device, and write-back for writing the file having the low writing frequency identified in the low-frequency file identification to the first storage device.
