Peter Baumann, Andreas Dehmel, Pedro Furtado, Roland Ritsch, Norbert Widmann · 1998
RasDaMan is a universal — i.e., domain-independent — array DBMS for multidimensional arrays of arbitrary size and structure. A declarative, SQL-based array query language offers flexible retrieval and manipulation. Efficient server-based query evaluation is enabled by an intelligent optimizer and a streamlined storage architecture based on flexible array tiling and compression.
