Abstract: A method for transferring data from a database may include receiving, at a database management system, a request to transfer, to a client, at least a portion of data stored at a database coupled with the database management system. The database management system may respond to the request by at least generating an internal table containing at least the portion of the data being transferred to the client. The database management system may further transfer at least the portion of the data to the client by at least sending, to the client, one or more data chunks. Each of the one or more data chunks may include at least a portion of a column of data from the internal table. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

Abstract: Enhanced shared memory based communication driver for improved performance and scalability is described. An example method includes creating a shared memory segment for a database server instance. The database server instance and a client reside on a same computing device. A first database connection is established to the database server instance using a pre-configured communication end point. An identifier of the shared memory segment for the database server instance is sent to the database server instance and the database server instance listens to subsequent connection requests generated on the shared memory segment. Moreover, a second database connection to the database server instance is established using the shared memory segment as a communication end point. Upon a successful connection of the second database connection, the first database connection is closed.
