US Patent 10437807 Selecting backing stores based on data request

Techniques for improving database searches are described herein. In an embodiment, a server computer system stores one or more first datasets in a first data repository and one or more second datasets in a second data repository. The server computer receives a request to perform an analysis on a particular dataset. The server computer determines that the particular dataset is stored in the first data repository and the second data repository. Based, at least in part, on an attribute of the request, the server computer selects the second data repository and responds to the request with data from the particular dataset stored in the second data repository.
