Hello,

In Oracle 10g with XML DB, can you use the WebDAV feature to store
files other than XML?

For instance: MS Word, MS Excel, jpeg, pdf etc. file types.

I have been scouring the available docs to determine this.

Thanks,

Michael

Yes, you can.

Although Oracle XML DB Repository can manage any kind of content, it
provides specialized capabilities and optimizations related to managing
resources where the content is XML.

Oracle XE makes intensive use of these capabilities - all the
images,javascript and css needed for ApEx are stored as XML DB resources.

Best regards

Maxim

They can also be stored using the DBMS_LOB package and interMedia.
interMedia is especially good for media types as it can manage huge
amounts of the metadata automatically.

There are demos of two of these (audio and video) in Morgan's Library
at www.psoug.org.
