XML
You can store XML content in the database, and write applications to process it and use it as a data interchange format:
Describes the database native XML support for this release. Oracle XML DB features a hierarchical repository with advanced foldering, versioning, and security mechanisms. This manual describes methods of storing, generating, accessing, searching, validating, transforming, and indexing XML and other data, including how to use FTP or HTTP/WebDav to access XML in the database. This manual also covers using Oracle XML DB with Oracle Text, Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing, and Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Introduces you to the Oracle XML Developer's Kit and how the various language components of the XDK can work together to generate and store XML data in a database or in a document outside the database. Examples and sample applications are introduced where possible.
Describes the Java APIs for XML.

Application Development
You can store unlimited amounts of text and binary data using Oracle's large object (LOB) types. The data cartridge framework lets you integrate your own complex data types into Oracle's query and index operations.
Describes how to use the object-relational features of the Oracle Server, 10g release 2 (10.2). Information in this guide applies to versions of the Oracle Server that run on all platforms, and does not include system-specific information.
Provides usage and reference information about Rules Manager, a feature in the Oracle Database that offers interfaces to define, manage, and enforce complex rules in the database and Expression Filter, a feature of Oracle Database and component of Rules Manager that stores, indexes, and evaluates conditional expressions in relational tables.
Describes use of large object datatypes BLOB, CLOB, NCLOB, and BFILE in application development. You can use these datatypes to store and manipulate unstructured and semi-structured data in binary or character format. This book also describes APIs for working with LOBs in supported programmatic environments. New APIs that allow you to use LOBs 8 terabytes in size or larger, depending on your configuration, are described.

Oracle Text
Oracle Text turns the database into a search engine. You can search for text in regular columns, for text inside various kinds of binary-format documents, and for text, tags, and attributes inside XML documents.
Describes how to build an application with Oracle Text, such as a text query application or document classification system. Examples are provided for creating a text table, indexing, and querying. This book also contains information about query tuning, document presentation, and using a thesaurus in your application.
Oracle Ultra Search
Oracle Ultra Search, built on top of Oracle Text, lets you customize and manage a search engine for database content.

Oracle Spatial
Oracle Spatial lets you store geospatial data and write mapping applications.
Provides usage and reference information for the GeoRaster feature of Oracle Spatial, referred to in this guide as GeoRaster. GeoRaster lets you store, index, query, analyze, and deliver raster image and gridded data and its associated metadata. GeoRaster provides Oracle Spatial data types and an object-relational schema. You can use these data types and schema objects to store multidimensional grid layers and digital images that can be referenced to positions on the Earth's surface or a local coordinate system.
Consists of interfaces and classes that support features available with Oracle Spatial, including GeoRaster and the topology and network data models, and with MapView, which is packaged with Oracle Application Server.
