Summary: | A multimedia database(denoted as MMDB) management system manages multimedia data, where multimedia data is defined as any combination of data in the form of text, images(digitized images and complex vector graphics drawings), animation, sound and video. Due to these complex combination of different types of data, and many special properties of multimedia applications, traditional record-based DBMS techniques are not effective and not powerful enough to support those multimedia applications. In this paper, we design and implement a QBOE (Query-By-Object-Example) language for multimedia database systems.which is based on an object-oriented model. Inthis version of implementation, we consider only three types of media, text, drawing and image. The query language is called Query-By-Object-Example, since either DDL(Data Definition Language) or DML(Data Manipulation Language) is through an object example. 元智工學院,中壢市
