| Oracle interMedia is a feature
of Oracle9i that is included in both standard edition and
enterprise edition.
It is a general purpose feature
that enables the efficient management, & retrieval of image,
audio, and video data. interMedia has knowledge of the most
popular multimedia formats and can automate metadata extraction
and basic image processing.
interMedia increases programmer
productivity when developing multimedia applications using
JSPs, Servlets, PL/SQL or when using tools such as JDeveloper
(BC4J/UIX) and Oracle Portal. interMedia enables multimedia
data to be managed directly in Oracle9i under complete database
control.
Alternately, Oracle9i can
store and index meta-information together with external
references that enable efficient access to media content
stored outside the database. |
