Database-agnostic parallel reads

Abstract:

A query into a database is processed by receiving an instruction to partition data in the database into respective data partitions for the query. In response to the instruction, a query execution plan is generated that specifies the data from the database for the respective data partitions according to at least one data characteristic. The query execution plan is executed to compel reading the data of the data partitions from the database in respective data streams independently one from another.
