Preface

This guide provides information about Oracle Multimedia OraDAV Driver.

In Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1), the name Oracle interMedia has been changed to Oracle Multimedia. The feature remains the same, only the name has changed. References to Oracle interMedia were replaced with Oracle Multimedia, however some references to Oracle interMedia or interMedia may still appear in graphical user interfaces, code examples, and related documents in the Documentation Library for Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1).

Audience

This guide is intended primarily for people who install and configure software in an Oracle environment. You should be familiar with Oracle Database concepts, including basic installation and configuration. In addition, you should be somewhat familiar with Oracle Application Server concepts.

This guide is also for application developers and database administrators who are interested in storing, retrieving, and manipulating audio, image, video, and heterogeneous media data in a database. Before using this guide, you should familiarize yourself with the concepts presented in Oracle Multimedia User's Guide and Oracle Multimedia Reference.
