Abstract :
To adequately support text, image, spatial, message and other complex forms of data, modern database management systems must provide an extensive set of data integration features. The emerging object-relational database systems provide features for defining, storing, updating, indexing, and retrieving complex data types with full transaction semantics. The author describes these features in the context of Oracle8i database technology with examples from existing e-commerce and emerging XML data
