Integrated application server and data server processes with matching data formate

摘要

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a computer-implemented method comprising storing data in an application using an application custom data type and application custom data structure. The data is stored in a database using the application custom data type and the application custom data structure. In one embodiment, a request is sent to access the data from the application to the database. The data is retrieved from the database in response to the request in the application custom data type and the application custom data structure. In one embodiment, the data is sent from the database to a shared memory in the application custom data type and the application custom data structure and the data is retrieved by the application from the shared memory in the application custom data type and the application custom data structure.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
storing data from an application operating on an application server in an application format defined by an application custom data type and an application custom data structure in an in-memory database operating on a database server, the database server further comprising a hard disk drive storing other data in a database format that is different from the application format, wherein the application server and the database server are virtual machines; retrieving the data from the in-memory database in response to a request to access the data; storing the data from the in-memory database in a shared memory; accessing the data from the shared memory for use in the application; receiving the application custom data structure in the in-memory database; transforming the other data stored in the hard disk drive from the database format to the application format using the application custom data structure processed by an in-memory database engine; sending the transformed other data from the database to the shared memory in the application format; and further comprising causing the in-memory database engine to perform an operation on the transformed other data.
