A DBMS manages a database including a structured data group capable of communicating with a plurality of execution nodes that manage an unstructured data group and execute parallel distributed processing. Each of the plurality of execution nodes is capable of creating data to be processed based on at least one structured data of the structured data group managed by the DBMS and at least one unstructured data of the unstructured data group managed by the plurality of execution nodes, and performing processing using the data to be processed. Based on control information (information about controlling the provision of two or more structured data designated in a reference request sent to the DBMS), the two or more structured data are acquired by the DBMS from the database, and provided from the DBMS to two or more execution nodes among the plurality of execution nodes.
