Eric Pardede, J. Wenny Rahayu, David Taniar · 2004
We examine the impact of the newest generation of structured query language (SQL), which is the standard language for relational model. The new standard of SQL4 adds powerful object-oriented data structures to object-relational database (ORDB), which is designed and implemented on relational model, to be used in diverse applications. We offer some opportunities of ORDB usage in many emerging database technologies such as statistical and scientific database, Web database, multimedia database, etc. We aim to show how standardization's impact on the model that can be useful for many real world applications.
