The OnLine Environment
The OnLine database server combines fault-tolerant, online transaction-
processing (OLTP) performance with multimedia capabilities. With OnLine,
users can integrate information objects such as scanned and digitized images,
voice, graphs, facsimiles, and word-processing documents into an SQL-based
relational database.
