We will cover Intelligent Databases in general and Deductive Databases, 
Fuzzy Databases, Multimedia Databases, Object Oriented Databases and 
Distributed Databases.  
For deductive, fuzzy and object oriented databases, we will use as an 
implementation language the declarative language PROLOG to build
