<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I record music and have a huge library of audio files (.wav) files that I want to be able to store, index, and extract information from. I am also learning programming and was thinking about trying c# as a front end and using a multimedia database management system for the storage of the raw audio files. I want to be able to do comparisons with all of the audio information so I can match similarities between songs or riffs that have created. I know that I could find a product to handle this, but I want to learn it. <br />
<br />
I am familiar with RDBMS's and OOP but I am having a hard time finding information on MMDBMs. Is a MMBMS just a OODBMS with some extra extensions to handle the specific types. <br />
<br />
What I need to know is:<br />
-Schema and how it differs from a RDBMS<br />
-Indexing structure<br />
-Retrieval<br />
-Logical and Physical Storage<br />
-Any additional information would be great<br />

How do multimedia database work?

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.

Multimedia programming is the process of developing multimedia products, programs or services that combine text with sounds, pictures, graphics, video-clips, virtual reality, digital animation and other forms of media, and generally requires skill sets that include programming languages such as Java and C++, graphics, animation and video production.

Multimedia Programming

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
