Abstract: Embodiments implement a plug-in architecture supporting adding new data sources to a legacy federated database without the need to recode a federated database manager software module. The federated database manager software module includes an administrative tool and a plug-in framework for interfacing with a data source cartridge. The data source cartridge supplies metadata including a feature table of a newly added data source to the framework and creates a physical query for the newly added data source based on an execution plan generated by the federated database manager software module. The administrative tool generates presentation panes including new data sources added to the legacy federated database.

Abstract: A server system provided according to an aspect of the present disclosure forms physical queries to process a user query received from a client system. Each physical query is thereafter executed in a corresponding concurrent execution entity (e.g., thread) to retrieve a respective data portion from a corresponding data source. A response to the user query is formed based on the data portions. State information corresponding to each execution entity is logged into log storage. According to another aspect, when a query (either physical or user) causes an execution environment to crash, the identifier of such query is added to a prohibited list. When a new query is to be executed, the initiation of execution of the new query is prevented if the identifier of the new query is present in the prohibited list.
