Unstructured Data and Content Management
Oracle Secure Files provides enhanced LOB-type storage for applications managing all types of data. Implement applications that deliver performance comparable to file system storage, with rich information retrieval capabilities organized around specialized semantic content models, such as relational, XML-based, full text, spatial, and multimedia data.Oracle Secure Files and Large Objects
Oracle Secure Files, providing enhanced large object (LOB) storage functionality with file system performance, provides a foundation for a wide range of content management applications.
Describes use of SecureFiles and large object data types BLOB, CLOB, NCLOB, and BFILE in application development. Presents APIs for working with LOBs in supported programmatic environments. Describes database file systems and the Oracle Database File System Hierarchical Store package.
