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.
* Gives broad coverage to integration of multimedia features such as audio and instrumentation video, from race cars to analyze performance, to voice and picture recognition for security data bases. As well as full multimedia for presentations
* Includes field tested examples in enterprise environments
* Provides coverage in a thorough and clear fashion developed in a London University Professional Course
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. They need to utilize a full range of media to satisfy customer needs from race car engineers to manufacturing processes to security.

Editorial Reviews
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewIncreasingly, you're called upon to build "media-rich" applications: software that can display medical images, or news video, or cancelled check images, or satellite photography, or virtually anything else. These applications present unique challenges, from metadata to sheer file size. Fortunately, Oracle 10g is up to the challenge -- and, with this book, you will be, too.
The authors begin by reviewing the basics: data formats, acquisition and transformation; resolution, color, delivery standards, and more. Next, they turn to interMedia, Oracle's powerful feature set for efficiently managing and retrieving images, audio, and video. You'll learn how to use interMedia's storage and web delivery features, and its tools for developing with JSP, servlets, and PL/SQL. You'll also find guidance on everything from application planning to optimization, queries to streaming.
If, like many developers, you don't know much about multimedia development, it's time you did. This book's just the ticket. Bill Camarda, from the March 2007 Read Only
