Supporting RFID-based Item Tracking Applications in Oracle DBMS Using a Bitmap Datatype

Summary: Introduces an Oracle bitmap datatype for compact, generic RFID/EPC identifier collections, supporting transient and persistent sets. Leverages bitmap-index technology with B+-tree storage and set operations, demonstrating efficient item-tracking workloads. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
