Abstract: An obtaining request requesting that information is obtained from a structured database by using multiple loops is received. A unique identifier is assigned to each of records in element tables each having been created for a different one of the loops. A cross product joined table is created by performing a cross product joining process on the element tables, so that the information specified as an obtained target in the obtaining request is obtained from the element tables. For each of the loops, a single-loop table storing therein records in which the obtained information, the identifiers, and the elements are brought into correspondence is created. An inter-loop joined table is created by joining the plurality of single-loop tables. A correspondence between the records in the cross product joined table and in the inter-loop joined table are controlled, based on the identifiers contained in the cross product joined table and the inter-loop joined table.

Abstract: In a structure where a table is partitioned into multiple databases according to a certain partitioning method, a coordinator server changes allocation information that is used to determine a database into which each of data records should be registered when an allocation change command is issued. The coordinator server stores therein allocation history information, which is the allocation information used before the change. When an entry request to make an entry of a new data record from a client, a database to enter the new data record is determined based on the stored allocation history information and the changed allocation information, and an entry request is sent to a database server having the determined database.
