In many applications, in addition the formatted data which can be managed by the current traditional database management systems, media data such as image and sound are also needed. One such application is a database system for maintaining person's entrance and exit from the buildings for security reasons. Best solution for such applications requires the use of a multimedia DBMS to manipulate data such as formatted data, image, graphics, barcodes, and voice input. Although most organizations today own general purpose microcomputers (IBM, compatibles), the implementation of a true multimedia DBMS that can run on microcomputers is not feasible. This creates a problem of not utilizing the existing microcomputers and software. In this thesis, we will design and implement a system for handling multimedia data by using software tools for the microcomputer. Our prototype system runs on general purpose microcomputers.
