Abstract
A database management method enables an improved efficiency processing action in a computer wherein manipulation of data from a table is required in accord with a query request, wherein the table is stored remotely from said computer and at least some data in the table includes large data objects (LOBs). The method includes the steps of: responding to the request by transmitting a query to the table; configuring a result set from the table in response to the query, wherein the result set includes one or more unique identifiers of any LOB data associated with the result set; receiving the result set and performing a data manipulation action on data contained in the result set to form a response; transferring the response to the query requester; and accessing LOB data from the table that is referenced by the one or more unique identifiers in the result set and causing transfer of the LOB data to the query requester.
