Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of limiting concurrent updates in a database, comprising adapting each of plurality of computing devices executing one or more applications capable of updating data in one or more databases accessible by a plurality of applications to execute a DB update limiter. The DP update limiter is configured for each update access of the one or more applications to the database(s), identify a DB segment identifier of a destination segment of the database targeted by the respective update access, check an access counter associated with the identified DB segment identifier which is indicative of a number of update accesses currently in progress to the destination segment, enable the respective update access responsive to determining that the access counter is smaller than a certain threshold, and prevent the respective update access responsive to determining that the access counter equals the certain threshold.
