Abstract

Few commercially available RDBMSs provide multimedia support. Of the few which do, there is no standard way by means of which multimedia objects are supported. We have tried to use ODBC support for creating an application which supports multimedia objects loosely coupled to any RDBMS which may or may not support multi-media objects. The multi-media objects are stored on a file system distributed over the network and the application developed handles issues like concurrency, integrity and recovery. This loosely coupled approach allows the independent existence of the RDBMS, solves the problem of storage of large amounts of multimedia data by providing a file system that is distributed across nodes of a network
