Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems and methods for query-attempt processing in a database environment. In an embodiment, a database platform receives a query, and operates a first query manager of the database platform to manage a first attempt to execute the query. Based on determining that the attempt to execute the query was unsuccessful, the database platform identifies a second query manager of the database platform as implementing a same version of the database platform as the first query manager, and operates the second query manager to manage a first retry attempt to execute the query.
