Hi,
Has anybody had any experience with the Oracle 8 LOB feature ?
Particularly the following aspects :
- Is it possible to configure the actual storage file paths for the
objects, and in the event of an excessive number of objects (1 million or
more), is it possible to specify a hashing function, enabling Oracle to
spread the storage of the objects across multiple directories ?
- Is it possible to specify some kind of compression/decompression
function which will be automatically performed by insert/upate/select of a
given object. It would be desirable if this was performed in a
completely transparent manner, from the user point of view.
- Does standard API's exist, for extracting e.g.TIFF headers or EPS
tags from a BLOB?
Responses posted to my email address will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
