Re: Document indexing

There are several ways to do this.
1. You can load the information into a clob field. 2. You could have the information accessed via a Bfile (a read only external file.)

Then you would use Intermedia to create an index on 1 or 2. You want to look at the documentation on Intermedia they have several examples. It does work.
