It doesn't matter where the file is stored. I want to know if I can do some processing like find similar photos or how many a given word appear in the multimedia content ( e.g. an audio or video) using a query language such as SQL.
Can SQL be used to retrieve data from multimedia content such as audio, video, image, full text?
it can if the data is stored in the sql database. however for large files like video, I personally would prefer to store it in a file system, and use SQL simply to reference it by filename.
