Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for limiting the number of concurrent requests in a database system comprising: defining a maximum value (SS) of concurrent requests corresponding to at least one queue; monitoring at least one queue utilization parameter corresponding to the at least one queue and calculating a performance value (PF) based on the at least one queue utilization parameter, wherein the performance value (PF) is calculated for a first period of time (MP(act)−ΔMP), wherein the performance value (PF) of the first period of time (MP(act)−ΔMP) is used to adapt the maximum value (SS) of concurrent requests in a second period of time (MP(act)), which immediately follows after the first period of time (MP(act)−ΔMP); adapting the maximum value (SS) of concurrent requests of the at least one queue dynamically based on the performance value (PF); and limiting the number of concurrent requests of the at least one queue dynamically based on the dynamically adapted maximum value (SS).
