Abstract
Advanced database applications require facilities such as text indexin g, image storage, and the ability to store data with a complex structu re. However, these facilities are not usually included in traditional database systems. In this paper we describe Atlas, a nested relational database system that has been designed for text-based applications. T he Atlas query language is TQL, an SQL-like query language with text o perators. The query language is supported by signature file text index ing techniques, and by a parser that can be configured for different t ext formats and even some foreign languages. Atlas can also be used to store images and audio.
