I don't see how that question makes sense in a Cloud environment. In fact,
I don't really see how it makes sense anywhere outside of a lab/play
environment. What's your use case?

Hi all,

I wonder if there is a way how to get to the datafiles in say Amazon RDS,
as there is no filesystem access. And the users cannot have alter system or
alter database grants, so I can't even dump contents of a data block.
The backups are file system snapshots, but these don't seem to be
accessible, either.

Or am I missing somethings, is there a way how to access an arbitrary
datafile block?

Thanks for all ideas!

Vit
