Re: using oracle as document management system

Nicolas,

I don't know of any way to accomplish that within Oracle - by itself or at least without a significant effort. You may want to contact Cypress Corporation and ask for Jeff Antone (248-852-0066) or visit http://www.cypressdelivers.com. Cypress is a product that can take all Oracle-generated output, index and archive it, then publish it to any enterprise or web destination - it can even enhance the output (i.e., forms, tailored content, etc.) before it delivers it to the final destination. End users can search for any page archived in Cypress either via a web browser or using the Cypress client user interface. Also, web documents display with 100% fidelity - it's pretty amazing. And the best part is that you don't need to install a separate web server or perform any conversions. It's really something.

Hope this helps,

Dennis
