Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for mountless querying of listing data. A processing device obtains a query that includes a universal listing identifier of a database, wherein the universal listing identifier is different from an identifier for the database. The processing device activates, at runtime, at least one role for accessing the database and shared objects based on the universal listing identifier. The processing device generates, based on the universal listing identifier and the at least one activated role, an in-memory placeholder object associated with the database. The processing device provides access to data of the database based on the in-memory placeholder object and the query.
