SQL/MM Part 5: Still Image -The Standard and Implementation Aspects -

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Informatik aktuell ((INFORMAT))

Abstract

ISO/IEC 13249 SQL/MM is the effort to standardize SQL extensions. As the name suggests, this project focuses on multi media and application specific packages like text, spatial, and image together with extended search facilities for them. Part 1 is the framework, part 2 the full text standard, part 3 addresses spatial data, and part 5 still images. SQL extensions for data mining applications are handled in part 6. The withdrawn part 4 addressed general purpose facilities. This paper presents the upcoming ISO/IEC 13249-5 SQL/MM Part 5: Still Image standard [ISO00a], its features and functionality. The standard is also discussed critically. A prototypical implementation of the standard, based on IBM’s database system DB2 Universal Database Version 7.1, is presented. The prototype is designed with performance in mind and for standard conformance. Implications from this approach are described here.
