Abstract

According to some embodiments, a programming language in an application server may access different database server implementations, wherein the programming language accesses content of database tables via work areas derived from the database tables. A database table may be mapped to a work area such that each column in the database table is mapped to a corresponding component of the work area (having a default component type based on the column type of the associated column). It may be determined that a particular column in the database table is to store large object data content, and a new mapping to a work area may be defined such that a particular column maps to a corresponding component having a component type other than the default component type.
