Client-server workload sharing

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to determine an average computing resource usage for each computing resource in one or more computing resources associated with a client device based on a plurality of real-time attributes received from the client device over a period of time;
• program instructions to determine whether a workload associated with a database query request received by a database management system should be shared between the database management system and the client device;
• responsive to determining that the workload associated with the database query request should be shared between the database management system and the client device, program instructions to transmit one or more plug-ins from the database management system to the client device, wherein the one or more plug-ins are software components that add specific features to at least one computer program on the client device;
• and
• program instructions to transmit at least one portion of the workload associated with the database query request to the client device, wherein the client device processes the at least one portion of the workload using the transmitted one or more plug-ins, the at least one computer program on the client device, one or more other programs required to process the workload, and the one or more computing resources associated with the client device.

A computer system, the computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• one or more computer readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to determine an average computing resource usage for each computing resource in one or more computing resources associated with a client device based on a plurality of real-time attributes received from the client device over a period of time;
• program instructions to determine whether a workload associated with a database query request received by a database management system should be shared between the database management system and the client device;
• responsive to determining that the workload associated with the database query request should be shared between the database management system and the client device, program instructions to transmit one or more plug-ins from the database management system to the client device, wherein the one or more plug-ins are software components that add specific features to at least one computer program on the client device;
• and
• program instructions to transmit at least one portion of the workload associated with the database query request to the client device, wherein the client device processes the at least one portion of the workload using the transmitted one or more plug-ins, the at least one computer program on the client device, one or more other programs required to process the workload, and the one or more computing resources associated with the client device.
