Database management system and anonymization processing method

There is provided a database management system (DBMS) in order to make anonymization processing of the database efficient. When receiving a query including a conversion rule, the database management system is configured to process a relationship table in the database based on the conversion rule. At that time, the DBMS is configured to acquire data from a processing result table (result of processing the relationship table) stored in the past for tuples the number of which for each value appearing in a predetermined attribute satisfies a condition required for the anonymization processing. On the other hand, for tuples the number of which for each value appearing in a predetermined attribute does not satisfy the condition required for the anonymization processing, the DBMS is configured to acquire data from the database or from a result of processing the relationship table, the result being stored in rather than the processing result table.
