Abstract
An approach is provided for providing a distributed database management and distributed storage system, which can use consumer storage media. A query for data stored in a distributed database formed by a plurality of storage media is received. The plurality of storage media corresponds to a plurality of set-top boxes. A determination is made that which one or more of the set-top boxes is associated with the data stored in the storage media. A request for the data is generated in response to the received query. The request is transmitted to the determined one or more of the set-top boxes.
