Description
Oracle 10g Developing Media Rich Applications is focused squarely on database administrators and programmers as the foundation of multimedia
database applications. With the release of Oracle8 Database in 1997, Oracle became the first commercial database with integrated multimedia
technology for application developers. Since that time, Oracle has enhanced and extended these features to include native support for
image, audio, video and streaming media storage; indexing, retrieval and processing in the Oracle Database, Application Server; and development
tools. Databases are not only words and numbers for accountants, but they also should utilize a full range of media to satisfy customer
needs, from race car engineers, to manufacturing processes to security.
The full range of audio, video and integration of media into
databases is mission critical to these applications. This book details the most recent features in Oracle’s multimedia technology including
those of the Oracle10gR2 Database and the Oracle9i Application Server. The technology covered includes: object relational media storage
and services within the database, middle tier application development interfaces, wireless delivery mechanisms, and Java-based tools.
