Multimedia data support in commercial DBMS

By
There are three kinds of DBMS that is available Commercially:
1.      Relational DMBS (RDBMS)
Oracle support three large object types that are used to store multimedia data types with Oracle InterMedia:
a.       BLOB (Binary Large Objects):
                                                              i.      Stores unstructured binary data in database
                                                            ii.      Can store up to 4 GB
b.      CLOB (Character Large Objects)
                                                              i.      Single-byte character set data
                                                            ii.      Sores up to 4GB
c.       NCLOB (National character set Character Large Objects)
                                                              i.      Fixed-width and varying width multi-byte national character set data
                                                            ii.      Stores up to 4 GB
Relational databases are efficient for numeric and textual data store, but do not conventionally support content based searches for multimedia content.

Example:
CREATE TABLE image_blob_table (
id NUMBER  PRIMARY KEY,
image_blob BLOB
);

INSERT INTO image_blob_table (id, image_blob)
VALUES (1, “<path_of_image>”);

2.      Object-Oriented DBMS (OODBMS)
Jasmine is an Object-Oriented database that stores the data in form of built in classes and objects. It comes with built in classes to include four multimedia classes:
a.       Picture
b.      Image
c.       Video
d.      Audio
These comes with manipulation and compression facilities. They also have been made to fit will with Java Media Framework
3.      Object-Relational DBMS (ORDMBS)

The BFILE data type in Oracle provides access to BLOB files up to 4 GB that are stored in file systems outside an Oracle database. The BFILE datatype allows read-only support of large binary files, you cannot modify a file through Oracle. Oracle provides APIs to access file data.

SAP-1(Simple as Possible-1) Computer Architecture Introduction

By
The Simple-As-Possible (SAP)-1 computer is a very basic model of a microprocessor explained by Albert Paul Malvino. The SAP-1 design contains the basic necessities for a functional Microprocessor. Its primary purpose is to develop a basic understanding of how a microprocessor works, interacts with memory and other parts of the system like input and output. The instruction set is very limited and is simple. The features in SAP-1 computer are: W bus – A single 8 bit bus for address and data transfer.  16 Bytes memory (RAM)  Registers are accumulator and B-register each of 8 bits.  Program counter – initializes from 0000 to 1111 during program execution.  Memory Address Register (MAR) to store memory addresses.  Adder/ Subtracter for addition and subtraction instructions.  A Control Unit  A Simple Output.  6 machine state reserved for each instruction  The instruction format of SAP-1 Computer is (XXXX) (XXXX) A Simple animation ...

Different between logical data independence and physical data independence.

By
Logical Data Independence Physical Data Independence Ability to change the logical (conceptual) schema without changing the external schema(user view) Ability to change the physical schema without changing the logical schema Modification is necessary whenever the logical structure of the database is altered Modification are rarely done, as it is done to improve the performance of the database It means we will be able to change the logical schema of the database without effecting the view level. It means we will be able change the physical storage without affecting the logical level or view level. It is more difficult to achieve. It is relatively easy to achieve. For example: Consider two users A & B, both are selecting the fields “employee_number”. If user B adds new column “salary” to the same table, it will not affect the user view level. For example: Changing the storage ...
