Abstract
A data storage and query method supporting an agile development and horizontal scaling, in a field of computer applications, includes steps of: transforming data into a 2-tuple (Key, MiniTable) and identifying any MiniTable (having a data set removed) with a unique Key, wherein the MiniTable includes multiple data columns; a structure of each data column is limited by a pre-defined mode; and the data columns are sorted according to a primary key defined by the mode. The data storage and query method obtains a capability of the horizontal scaling via removing dependency among the data sets, and a capability of the agile development via supporting an analogous SQL grammar by saving dependency among the data within the data sets. The data storage and query method can be applied to a data management system which supports the horizontal scaling of big data and the agile development of short development lifecycles.
