Abstract
Today, nearly all possible business activities or information systems in enterprises such as sales, marketing, accounting, finance, customer relations, and manufacturing are carried out through traditional relational database management systems. However, technological, social, and competitive pressures in enterprises coming together with the rapid change in technology and then the problems arising from traditional databases force enterprises to adopt new database technologies.
