Abstract
In our project, we are adopting a new approach for handling video data. We view the video as a well-defined data type with its own description, parameters and applicable methods. The system is based on PREDATOR, an open-source object-relational DBMS. PREDATOR uses Shore as the underlying storage manager. Supporting video operations (storing, searching-by-content and streaming) and new query types (query-by-example and multi-feature similarity searching) requires major changes in many of the traditional system components. More specifically, the storage and buffer manager has to deal with huge volumes of data with real-time constraints. Query processing has to consider the video methods and operators in generating, optimizing and executing the query plans
