Abstract
A database startup service is launched at the boot time of a computer that is configured to receive requests to start the execution of a database server. A business application plug-in is then started in a minimal functionality mode of operation. The plug-in determines whether an action has been performed that requires access to a database. If access to the database is needed, the plug-in transmits a request to the database startup service to start the database service. Once the database server has been started, the plug-in transitions to a full functionality mode of operation where all of the functionality provided by the plug-in is enabled. The plug-in might also determine that access to the database is no longer needed. In response thereto, the plug-in may transmit a request to the database startup service to terminate the execution of the database server.
