I am not sure if this is really helpful but anyway, if you are willing
to spend some efforts on getting multimedia content retrieval to work
in PostgreSQL, you could use GiST
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/gist.html) and write custom
indexing methods. These methods would define your content retrieval
criteria while GiST itself provides an interface so that you could
store and retrieve the indexed content using PostgreSQL.
