You should take a look at how to persist classes in ABAP OO - SAP Help -> [The Persistence Service|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/f5/a36828bc6911d4b2e80050dadfb92b/frameset.htm].
I am not sure what exactly you need. But if you want to be able to store a field of any type in DB then one way how to do it is to use XML. I use it in one of my tools and it works fine. Basically, I have a simple table with fields KEY and CONTENT. The field CONTENT has type STIRNG. There are two standard XSLTs: CONVERT_XML_INT_TO_EXT and CONVERT_XML_EXT_TO_INT. They convert data in any type to XML and back. It does not work for objects. Actually, it does not dump and it generates a valid XML but you can't use it for serialization/deserialization of objects.
