Abstract: A relational database replication system includes a client, at least one primary database, a plurality of secondary databases and replication agents which coordinate database transactions. The system provides a high level of performance, reliability, and scalability with an end result of efficient and accurate duplication of transactions between the primary and secondary databases. In one implementation, the client transmits sets of database update statements to the primary database and primary agent in parallel; the primary agent replicates the statements to at least one secondary agent. A transaction prepare and commit process is coordinated between the primary database and the primary agent, which in turn coordinates with the at least one secondary agent.

Abstract: A sharded database system configured for partitioning data amongst a plurality of shard servers is provided. In one implementation the sharded database system comprises a sharded database including a first shard server, a second shard server, and a shard control record. The shard control record is configured to define a first data structure for distributing a first plurality of data records or rows based on a first sharding by monotonic key range across the first and second shard servers. The sharded database is also configured to further distribute the first plurality of records or rows across the first shard server and the second shard server via a subsidiary hashing method. A method of partitioning data of a database is also provided.
