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.

SecureFiles and Large Objects Developer's Guide

Describes use of large object data types BLOB, CLOB, NCLOB, and BFILE in application development. Presents APIs for working with LOBs in supported programmatic environments, and SecureFiles, that are LOBs that support compression, encryption, and deduplication. Describes database file systems and the Oracle Database File System Hierarchical Store package.
