ABSTRACT:
A database system is provided for reading data from a database to a database buffer and performing a physical sequential scan for the data on the buffer. If the preceding request for physical sequential scan is under execution, the database system operates to keep the succeeding request for scan in a waiting state until the preceding requested scan is completed and then execute the succeeding request for scan after the preceding requested scan is completed. If there are more than one succeeding requests for physical sequential scan, they are executed at the same time. Another scanning method is also provided. If the preceding request for scan is under execution, the succeeding requested scan is executed for the data existing after the halfway location at which the preceding scan process now reads the data. The short data is read from its head for completing the subsequent scan.
