>>The architecture of the Oracle server depends heavily on a large chunk of shared memory known as the 'System Global Area' (aka SGA) for storing and working on data from the database files. The middleware process could potentially work directly against the SGA...instead of having to serialize and send data between itself and the server; thus realizing a significant savings in time.<< Everyone's making educated guess and I am no exception. I think if Oracle chooses to allow it's middleware to access the SGA, it's no different than Informix server (virtual processors which run DataBlades) accessing the shared memory. The chances of corruption are the same. I know that Informix Universal Server allows you run DataBlade code in it's own address space (separate process) if you want to. This limits any damages by the DataBlade, if any, to the program using that DataBlade. But I'm not aware of any such mechanism in Oracle.
