FILE_DATASTORE

The FILE_DATASTORE type is used for text stored in files accessed through the local file system.

Note:

Starting with Oracle Database 19c, the Oracle Text type FILE_DATASTORE is deprecated. Use DIRECTORY_DATASTORE instead.

Oracle recommends that you replace FILE_DATASTORE text indexes with the DIRECTORY_DATASTORE index type, which is available starting with Oracle Database 19c. DIRECTORY_DATASTORE provides greater security because it enables file access to be based on directory objects.

Note:

• The FILE_DATASTORE type may not work with certain types of remote-mounted file systems.

• The character set of the file datastore is assumed to be the character set of the database.
