For example, a music database may be created for audio recordings. DB2 Image Extender enables image retrieval. For example, visual samples of color and texture patterns may be used as query search criteria. Also, a photographic database can be queried for thumbnail images of all pictures stored in a specific format. DB2 Video Extender enables video retrieval.
