The Case for Enhanced Abstract Data Types

Summary: Proposes Enhanced Abstract Data Types (E-ADTs) that expose method semantics to the DBMS for optimized ADT expressions, rather than black-box usage. Using Predator, it reports architecture choices and speedups for multimedia types via E-ADT implementations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
