Return to Industrial Session: Database Storage Management

Abstract
With the advent of GIS, multimedia, and warehousing technologies, database systems have started focusing on storage and access of multi-dimensional data such as spatial, OLAP, image, audio, and video attributes. As a step in this direction, Oracle8i launched the interMedia product to support spatial and image data, and Materialized Views (MV) to support warehousing applications. Although 2-dimensional spatial data is effciently indexed using Oracle8i Spatial , and high- dimensional image data using a combination of bitmap indexing and the Visual Information Retrieval (VIR) product, there is still a need for effcient indexing mechanisms for medium-dimensionality data such as OLAP, and CAD/CAM applications. In this paper, we describe the implementation of a new indextype, called the R-tree, to support medium-dimensionality data (i.e., data whose dimensionality is in the range of 3- 10) using the extensible indexing framework [DDSS95] of Oracle8i. This indextype combines some of the best features of existing R-tree variants [Gut84, BKSS90, WJ96, LLE97, RKV95].
