I am on Oracle 11 g using hp unix 11i.
Can one set Oracle text Indexes on Microsoft WORD and pdf files. I can understand text indexes on text files, but how do test indexes work on “binary” files such as WORD and pdf files. I have been told they work on these files as well, just curious how oracle manages to parse such files. Received on Sat May 08 2010 - 22:14:15 CDT
