Method and system for storing instant information

Abstract

The invention discloses an instant message storage method and a system thereof. The method comprises the following steps: receiving an instant message comprising user identification; acquiring storage allocation information corresponding to the user identification, which comprises a target database address; storing the instant message in a target database corresponding to the target database address. In this way, instant messaging records related to a user are stored in the target database corresponding to the user identification in a centralized manner, so as to avoid the problems such as low searching efficiency and high cost in the prior art caused by traversing each server in a cluster in order to acquire the instant messaging records of the user, and prevent the server performance from being affected thereby.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of data storage, in particular to an instant information storage method and system. Background technique [0002] Instant Messaging (IM, Instant Messaging) is a technology that enables people to identify online users on the Internet and exchange information with them in real time.
