Abstract
A method for balancing database workloads among a plurality of database servers includes when a new server is available, selecting a set of master and slave databases to be migrated to the new server; and migrating the selected databases to result in a balanced new workload among all servers while minimizing migration cost; and during operation, if workload unbalance is detected in real time from a workload change in a certain database, iteratively selecting one database at a time to migrate to a different server to balance the workload.
