Furthermore, due to increased number of operations over these data and the
necessity of reducing the access, processing and manipulation and other time costs, brought about the storing of the information in the database.
A lot of opposing opinions appeared,saying that databases were not designed for storing these multimedia types of data, because sustaining these data would unjustifiably load the database, due to non character based information.
Why were these objections raised? The answer comes from the limited hardware resources available at the time.
Fortunately the progress of database technology was followed by the progress of hardware and now we can argue that the limitation of hardware resources is no more a problematic issue in this matter.
