Internal tables for accessing data stored in a database

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.
