868.0. "Can Oracle handle large objects? Image information?" by HILLST::AMELI () Mon Feb 18 1991 21:33
Hello there -
Does anybody know whether Oracle has the capability to handle very large
objects like image data, blobs? Do they support anything like Segmented String
data type?
From all indications, I haven't seen anything to support that and I think
the answer is NO but I am not sure! Another way, I don't think Oracle has any
more capability dealing with large objects than Rdb/VMS does, if not less! I need
this for a competetive situation against Oracle.
Regards,
Ali

| 868.1 | ORACLE has an equivlent to Segmented Strings | TRCA03::MCMULLEN | Ken McMullen | Mon Feb 18 1991 21:48 | 5 |
| I believe ORACLE has a similiar data structure to Rdb's Segmented
Strings. The last time I checked (several years) the capabilities were
about the same. Segmented String support is better in Rdb 4.0 and the
equivalent functionality in ORACLE has most likely improved on the
slide projector

| 868.2 | 1 per table max 65,535 | KCBBQ::DUNCAN | Gerry Duncan @KCO 452-3445 | Wed Mar 13 1991 18:18 | 5 |
| According to the Oracle SQL Reference Manual V6, they have a LONG
datatype that can be "up to 65,535" characters. Only one
LONG column may be defined per table."
