Abstract

Handling a database request includes providing a first database manager on a storage device containing data for the database, generating the database request external to the storage device, providing the database request to the first database manager on the storage device, and the first database manager servicing the database request by obtaining data internally from the storage device and processing the data within the storage device to provide a result thereof, wherein portions of the data that are not part of the result are not provided externally from the storage device. Handling a database request may also include providing a host having a database application running thereon. The database request may be generated by the database application. Handling a database request may also include providing a second database manager on the host, where the second database manager communicates with the first database manager to provide the database request.
