Abstract
When operating a database management system that consists of a plurality of database servers and enables the database servers to transfer data between them by partitioning a data area into small areas and altering allocation of the small areas to the database servers, after altering the configuration, there occurs degradation in processing speed that accompanies re-creation of the index. If this problem is solved by using the conventional technique, noticeable degradation in processing speed will occur to a specific query at the time of a steady state operation. When operating the database management system that consists of the plurality of database servers and enables the database servers to transfer data between them by partitioning the database area into small areas and altering the allocation of the small areas to the database server, an index created for each of the small areas and an index to all the small areas allocated to the database server are used in combination.
