Abstract
Techniques to provide run-time access to a database image through a target database management system (DBMS) are described. An empty database in the target DBMS (the 'target database') is created having substantially the same schema as the database image. At run-time, queries directed to the target database are intercepted and redirected to the database image. Information returned in response to the redirected query is modified so that internal database identifiers retrieved from the database image are replaced with like database identifiers associated with the target database management system. Thus, run-time access to database image content is provided without the need to load the database image's data content into a target database.
