Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for row buffering in a database environment. A transparency engine can be provided between client applications and a database, and can operate as a proxy engine for the database and as a session abstraction layer for the client applications, to enable the client applications to utilize database features provided by the connection pool without code changes to the client applications. The transparency engine can maintain a plurality of local row buffers to store rows fetched from a database. The local buffers can be filled by rows pre-fetched from the database. When a client application requests rows from the database, the transparency engine can first check whether the rows exist in a local buffer. If the rows are present in the local buffer, the transparency engine sends the rows to the requesting client application, without going to the database.
