1. A computer-implemented method associated with a programming language in an application server that includes access to different database server implementations, wherein the programming language accesses content of database tables via work areas derived from the database tables, comprising: defining mapping of a database table, having columns to store content, each column is associated with a column type, to a work area such that, at a database server, each column in the database table is mapped to a corresponding component of the work area, the corresponding component having a default component type based on the column type of the associated column in the database table; determining that a particular column in the database table is to store large object data content; and in response to the determination, automatically defining a new mapping to a work area such that the particular column maps to a corresponding component having a component type other than the default component type, wherein, as a result of said new mapping, the programming language accesses a sub-portion of the large object data content by changing the content of the large object data content via a locator and the programming language writes a sub-portion of the large object data content via the work area with at least one of an INSERT statement, an UPDATE statement, or a MODIFY statement associated with at least one of: (i) CL_ABAP_DB_C_LOCATOR and CL_ABAP_DB_X_LOCATOR for a locator, or (ii) CLABAP_DB_C_WRITER, CLABAP_DB_XWRITER for a stream writer.
