Description

Multimedia Database Systems (MDBs) facilitate the access, manipulation, and communication of information across high-speed electronic and phone networks. This text defines and explains the technology for the key functions that MDBs must support. It includes important topics including how to organize data types, storage and retrieval, and creation and delivery of multimedia presentations.
