Abstract
In a database processing system with a partitioned database that provides relational extenders to support storage of and access to complex data types, metadata table rows are collocated with corresponding relational table partitions. Image indexes are generated and stored at system nodes with their corresponding relational table partitions. Image query processing is conditioned to account for the partitioned structure of the database.
