Abstract :
We describe functionality for determining an object database management system´s suitability for developing multimedia applications. We discuss all levels of hardware and software support, as even the most ideal database software cannot operate independent of operating systems, networks and hardware. A review of the multimedia support provided by current commercial and research object database management systems is also included
