Abstract

A system and method for implementing a database system is presented. A database cluster can comprise multiple database servers. Each database server is configured to regularly compile various statistics upon the occurrence of a triggering event. These statistics can be stored along with the statistics of each database server in the cluster of database servers. Upon the occurrence of various conditions, corrective actions can be implemented. The conditions can include the inability to achieve performance thresholds. The conditions also can include not meeting the performance of other database servers in the cluster. The corrective action can include removing a server temporarily from the cluster or rebooting the server. In addition, a database server can cause the corrective action on other database servers in the cluster. Other embodiments also are disclosed.
