Hi, folks!
I have read an article,where are describing method to read SGA from C program. I have one interest question - SGA is shared memory, so everyone can read them. Is there are possible to read table data, stored in buffer cahe without any connect to database????

I believe you would need to be connected to see the sga. An OCI connection should do it. Check out the Oracle Connection Interface 'C' routines, they are listed in the programmers guide I think.

OCI is necessary to work with database by SQL selects. But I say about reading information from physical memory using C language. Without any SQL expressions, and so without any connection to database.

I am sorry I can not help much. I binded the C oci routines to smalltalk so I know some of them. I do not think you are going to get out of having a Oracle session, but I could be wrong. Perhaps there are some O/S tools that can look into memory?
Good luck!
