Print-friendly Version

Oracle Database 10g is the first relational database designed for grid computing. With Oracle Database 10g, your information is securely consolidated and always available. Oracle Database 10g has the lowest total cost of ownership by making the most efficient use of hardware and IT resources. Oracle is the best choice for large enterprises, small and midsize businesses, and departments alike.

Oracle interMedia is a feature of Oracle Database 10g 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 manages multimedia data within Oracle Database 10g under transaction control. Oracle Database 10g can also store and index meta-information together with external references that enable efficient access to media content stored in files or on web servers.

Oracle interMedia makes use of Java Advanced Imaging in order to offer a wide array of image processing services and to enable unique image metadata extraction and indexing services on every platform Oracle supports. These capabilities have been expanded by interMedia with additional file codecs, and with SQL and Java interfaces. JAI-based interMedia capabilities are included in both Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Application Server 10g.
