The present invention relates to a method of regulating the load in a distributed database (A), where the information within the database is distributed between several different nodes (1, 2, 3, . . . , k) belonging to the database. A request (4a) from a user (4) is served either by the node to which the user connects, here designated the receiving node (1), or by some other node after the receiving node (1) has forwarded the request to a node that can meet the request, this node being called the serving node (2). Respective nodes are given one or several key-numbers which limit the number of requests that respective nodes may accept in their role as a receiving node (1). The key-numbers are related to the executing capacity of the database (A). |
