Claim 6:
7. A computer program product for processing a federated query in a federated server system via a remote database system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to:
integrate a serialization library accessible from all nodes of the federation server system into a database image associated with the remote database system, the serialization library enabling query result format translation;
prepare a query result set by processing a query statement received from the federation server system, wherein preparing the query result set comprises serializing the query result set by converting each set datapoint to a format compatible with the federation server system according to a data type mapping provided by the federation server system; and
transmit the query result set to the federation server system via a modified database access API, wherein the database also includes metadata; and
create a serialization library.
