Oracle Multimedia

Oracle Multimedia (formerly Oracle interMedia from versions 8 to 11g^[1]), a feature available for Oracle databases, provides multimedia utilities in a database environment.

Functionalities

as a general-purpose feature enables the management and retrieval of image, audio, and video data
recognizes the most popular multimedia formats and can automate metadata extraction and basic image-processing
facilitates the development of multimedia applications using JSPs, servlets, PL/SQL or tools such as JDeveloper (ADF/UIX) and Oracle Portal.

Oracle Multimedia manages multimedia data within an Oracle database under transaction control (see transaction processing); using by default database schemas named ORDSYS and ORDPLUGINS. (The "ORD" prefix designates "object-relational data".)

Alternatively, an Oracle database can use Oracle Multimedia to store and index meta-information together with external references that enable efficient access to media-content stored outside the database.
