1. A distributed database system, comprising: at least one database instance; an autonomous database management system for each database instance, the autonomous database management system comprising: a database operation interface executing on a processor enabling the processor to interface with another autonomous database management system; a database operation processing engine coupled to the database operation interface, the database operation processing engine executing on a processor enabling the processor to perform a database operation; and a distributed indexing engine coupled to the database operating processing engine, the distributed indexing engine executing on a processor enabling the processor to index location of database storage and an address of the database storage a local autonomous resource system executing on a processor enabling the processor to manage database storage on the at least one database instance, the local autonomous management system comprising: a resource discovery engine executing on the processor enabling the processor to search within the at least one database instance responsive to a request for the database storage and to send a request to at least one remote autonomous resource system for discovery of the database storage; and a resource assignment engine, operating in conjunction with the resource discovery engine, executing on the processor enabling the processor to assign a discovered database storage and to send a message to the remote autonomous resource system responsive to a request from the remote autonomous resource system.
