Funny you should ask... At the OOPSLA conference in Ottawa two weeks ago, there were half a dozen OODB startup companies (including ours) showing various kinds of multimedia database management systems. I'm sure that the others can fend for themselves (some already have), so here are our coordinates: OODBMS: O2 Company: Altair Domaine de Voluceau B P 105, Rocquencourt 78153 Le Chesnay Cedex France Phone: +33 (1) 39 63 54 17 Fax: +33 (1) 39 63 58 90 E-mail: altair@bdblues.altair.fr Under the O2 system an image, like any other object, may be an attribute of a tuple.
