HANDLING USER QUERIES AGAINST PRODUCTION AND ARCHIVE STORAGE SYSTEMS, SUCH AS FOR ENTERPRISE CUSTOMERS HAVING LARGE AND/OR NUMEROUS FILES

摘要

This application discloses a system for processing requests for data in production and archive/backup databases. The system stores a mapping of data in production and archive databases to multiple different data storage locations, including a production system storing at least one production database and an archive system storing at least one archive database. The system receives a data request from an application component, which manages or receives data from a user interface and has received the data request directly from the user interface. The system translates the data request to one or more database queries based on the mapping. The system causes to execute the database queries against data on the production or archive system. The system returns a result of executing the one or more database queries to the application component, where the application component returns the result to the user via the user interface.
