Abstract
Techniques are provided for enabling a requesting entity to retrieve data that is managed by a database server instance from the volatile memory of a server machine that is executing the database server instance. The techniques allow the requesting entity to retrieve the data from the volatile memory of the host server machine without involving the database server instance in the retrieval operation. Because the retrieval does not involve the database server instance, the retrieval may succeed even when the database server instance has stalled or become unresponsive. In addition, direct retrieval of data using the techniques described herein will often be faster and more efficient than retrieval of the same information through conventional interaction with the database server instance.
