SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR QUERYING AND UPDATING DATABASES

Abstract:

Systems and method for improving query performance by querying an appropriate database engine based on the operation of the query request is provided. In one aspect, this approach involves querying a row-oriented database, querying a column-oriented database, or blacklisting the query request. In particular, updating the column-oriented database involves delete and insert operations. By maintaining updated databases and querying appropriate database engines, the response time of a query request may be improved.
