Abstract

Techniques and systems for completing a database query. A time to complete a synchronous query in response to receiving an original database query is estimated by a database management system provided by one or more computing devices. A synchronous database query corresponding to the original database query is performed with the database management system if the estimated time to complete the synchronous query is less than a pre-selected threshold time. One or more asynchronous queries corresponding to the original database query are performed with the database management system if the estimated time to complete the synchronous query is greater than the pre-selected threshold time. A result, whether from a synchronous query or one or more asynchronous queries, is stored in an object within a non-relational database system.
