Claim 6:
7. The computer implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving, by the number of processor units, a second query from the second client in the group of clients;
determining, by the number of processor units, whether the result set in the shared cache is a partial match to the second query;
determining, by the number of processor units, whether retrieving the result set from the shared cache provides better a performance than retrieving the result set from a database in response to the result set being the partial match to the second query;
retrieving, by the number of processor units, the result set from the shared cache in response to a determination that retrieving the result set from the shared cache provides better the performance than retrieving the result set from the database, wherein the result set retrieved from the shared cache is a first result set;
retrieving, by the number of processor units, a second result set from the database, wherein the second result set and the first result set are a full match to the second query;
combining, by the number of processor units, the first result set and the second result set to form a complete result set; and
sending, by the number of processor units, the complete result set to the second client.
