Routing and translating a database command from a proxy server to a database server

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing computer-executable instructions that, if executed, cause the system to:
• receive a first database command compatible with a first database and incompatible with a second database;
• select, based at least in part on a determination that the first database command will not change the first database, a second database from a cluster of databases, the cluster comprising the first database and the second database;
• translate the first database command to produce a translated command for execution against the second database;
• generate a compatibility score that represents a likelihood that the translated command is a correct translation of the first database command;
• on a condition that the compatibility score is less than a threshold value, execute the first database command against the first database;
• and
• on a condition that the compatibility score exceeds the threshold value, transmit the translated command to the second database.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing thereon executable instructions that, as a result of execution by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

• receive a first database command for execution on a first database;
• select a second database based at least in part on a determination that the first database command is a read command;
• determine that the first database command is capable of being translated into an alternate command that is compatible with a second database;
• generate a score that represents a likelihood that the alternate command is a compatible translation of the first database command;
• as a result of the score reaching a first value relative to a threshold value, execute the alternate against the first database to fulfill the first database command;
• and
• as a result of the score reaching a second value relative to a threshold value, execute the alternate command against the second database to fulfill the first database command.
