Data query method and apparatus, and secure multi-party database

Abstract

This specification provides a multi-party database including a central node and a plurality of databases. The central node has a disclosed first interface. Each of a plurality of query engines corresponding to the plurality of databases includes a second interface configured to interact with the first interface. The central node can determine a plurality of target databases related to a query request from the plurality of databases based on the query request; and send a query indication to a plurality of target query engines corresponding to the plurality of target databases through the first interface. The plurality of target query engines can receive the query indication from second interfaces in the plurality of target query engines, and execute the query indication to obtain a query result; and send the query result to the first interface in the central node through the second interfaces.
