The present invention is to provide a system capable of preventing an
increase in load even if the amount of data increases. Upon receipt of a
retrieval request, a main control part specifies, from a first customer
table, row numbers adapted to the retrieval request. Then the main
control part determines the range of data to be retrieved in a second
customer table according to predetermined computational logic from the
row numbers specified, the number of rows capable of being recorded in
the first customer table for each customer, and the number of rows
capable of being recorded in the second customer table for each customer.
