Abstract

Techniques are described herein for routing queries to particular nodes of a multi-node database system based on the query. A database table is partitioned into a plurality of affinity groups. Each affinity group is assigned a particular node as the master node of the affinity group. A mapping is sent to a query router indicating the master node for each affinity group of the plurality of affinity groups. The query router determines, for a particular query, a target node to which to send the particular query based on the mapping and the particular query.
