Abstract
Techniques for accessing a parallel database system via an external program using vertical and/or horizontal partitioning are provided. An external program to a database management system (DBMS) configures external mappers to process a specific portion of query results on specific access module processors of the DBMS that are to house query results. The query is submitted by the external program to the DBMS and the DBMS is directed to organize the query results in a vertical or horizontal manner. Each external mapper accesses its portion of the query results for processing in parallel on its designated AMP or set of AMPS to process the query results.
