method and system for database management for databases with large objects

摘要

A system and method for managing binary large objects in a database are described in various embodiments. A database management system manages a database table having a plurality of rows of data. Each row includes one or more fixed-length data elements and one or more object identifiers that reference and are associated with respective binary large objects. An object handler coupled to the database management system, the object handler configured and arranged to store each binary large object in a section of contiguous storage referenced by the associated identifier, manages binary large objects.
