I hv many databases in my system , that the resource seems not support such high workload , all databases process are running very slowly , I want to allocate the resource ( CPU , RAM ) to the specific process , eg. I want to restrict the max. of CPU (max. 50 %) for all processes from database A ; when the system is busy , database B have higher priority than database A to use resource etc, except use "nice" , "renice" , could suggest the method to do it ? thx.

This is a job for prm. Problem is that it is not free, but it will probably be less expensive than a server upgrade :-/

prm will let you assign limits to resource usage for groups of processes.
