The source code includes an instruction, native to a program language, for a memory location access. Based at least in part on processing the source code, the compiler generates second object code that, when executed by one or more processors, configures the one or more processors to determine to implement the memory location access using first database access transaction operations or to implement the memory location access using second database access transaction operations. The compiler may generate third object code that configures the one or more processors to implement the memory location access using the first database access transaction operations or to implement the memory location access using the second database access transaction operations, based at least in part based on the determining. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of compiling source code, comprising: generating first object code by processing the source code corresponding to a portion of a software program, the source code including an instruction, native to a program language, for a memory location access;
