Abstract

A database proxy includes a request processor, a cache, a database plugin, and interfaces for coupling the database proxy client devices, other database proxies, and database servers. The request processor is configured to receive a read request from a client, determine whether the read request is assigned to the database proxy, and return results of the read request to the client. When the read request is not assigned to the database proxy, the read request is forwarded to another database proxy. When the read request is assigned to the database proxy, the read request is processed using data stored in the cache when the results are stored in the cache or forwarded to the database plugin, which forwards the read request to a database server, receives the results from the database server, and returns the results to the request processor for storage in the cache.
