Oracle Multimedia (formerly Oracle interMedia from versions 8 to 10gR2[1]) is a feature available for Oracle databases, which provides multimedia utilities in a database environment, generating as a result a multimedia database (MMDB). Oracle Multimedia was deprecated in Oracle 18c[2] and desupported in Oracle 19c.[3]

Functionalities

Oracle Multimedia is a framework which:[4]

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").

ORDSYS provides four media classes:[5]

  • ORDAudio
  • ORDDoc
  • ORDImage
  • ORDVideo

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.
