Object data stored out of line vector engine

A method of database operation, comprising:

• storing a large object having a size larger than a column of a database in an external storage associated with a token stored in the column of the database;
• receiving, at a vector processing engine associated with the external storage, a database command from a client on multiple records represented as a vector including the token for processing the large object according to the token, wherein the token includes one or more operators to be applied to the large object;
• performing the one or more operators on the large object at the external storage without transferring the large object to the database;
• and.
• caching a result of the one or more operators on the large object at the external storage.

A system for storing large objects in a database, comprising:

• a database management system that stores a database table having a maximum column size;
• and
• an external storage server storing a large object having a size larger than a column of the database table, the large object associated with a token stored in the column of the database table, wherein the token includes information for processing the large object, wherein the external storage server is configured to
• receive a database command on multiple records represented as a vector including the token at a vector processing engine associated with the external storage for processing the large object according to the information of the token, wherein the token includes one or more operators to be applied to the large object;
• perform the one or more operators on the large object at the external storage without transferring the large object to the database management system;
• and.
• cache a result of the one or more operators on the large object at the external storage.
