Foil 40 Illustra Database -- Overview

From Overview of VRML SC95 Tutorial on Web Technologies -- December 4,95. by NPAC Team * See also color IMAGE
The Illustra Server is an Object-Relational DBMS (ORDBMS)
It supports Object-Oriented management of rich data
types, and at the same time provides an efficient query language based on extensions to industry-standard SQL.
Object extensions, called DataBlade modules, define specific kinds of data, extending the SQL.
DataBlade modules can be self-contained or can take advantage of data types and functions defined by other DataBlade modules.
