Database management systems ("DBMS") control the organization, storage, retrieval, security and integrity of data in a database. By managing user read/write authorizations, the DBMS also allows concurrent access to the stored data by multiple users without corrupting the underlying data. Many experts believe that technological advances, as a result of the commercialization of the Internet, will lead to increasingly sophisticated customer requirements for data storage and management beyond the functionality offered by conventional RDBMS products. In recent years, the types and quantities of data required to be stored and managed has grown increasingly complex and includes audio, video, text and three dimensional graphics in addition to conventional character data.
