Claim:
A system for scheduling database operations on at least one database, the system comprising: a first global-results processing matrix having a plurality of interconnected processing nodes operating in parallel and being adapted to execute an executable on the at least one database, the executable being representative of a compiled query having at least one database operation; a first query agent connected to the first global-results processing matrix and being adapted to manage the execution of the executable by the first global-results processing matrix; and a scheduling services module connected to the query agent and the first global-results processing matrix and being adapted to: schedule a time for the execution of the executable by the first global-results processing matrix; adjust the scheduled time of the execution of the executable based on information received from the global-results processing matrix or the first query agent; and direct the first query agent to submit the executable to the first global-results processing matrix for the execution at the adjusted scheduled time of the execution.
