Examples in This Manual Use Multimedia_Tab

Multimedia data is increasingly being used on web pages, CD-ROMs, in film and television, for education, entertainment, security, and other industries. Typical multimedia data is large and can be comprised of audio, video, scripts, resumes, graphics, photographs, etc. Much of this data is unstructured.

LOBs have been designed to handle large unstructured data. "Unstructured Data" is described earlier in this chapter.

A sample application based on a 'multimedia' table, called Multimedia_tab, is described in detail in Chapter 8, "Sample Application". All examples presented in this manual are based on table Multimedia_tab.Where applicable, any deviations or extensions to this table are described in the appropriate sections.
