Oracle 11g Revealed without Much Info about Search
April 2, 2009
I downloaded a 26 page description of Oracle 11g. You can get a copy of this document here or directly from Bitpipe if you a registered user. I wanted to see if there were any references to search and retrieval in the document. On page 12 I learned that Oracle 11g “lets companies go beyond the manual searching and querying of information to quickly and automatically look through massive amounts of data in order to predict, understand, and develop new insights.”
I also noted this statement on page 17:
“Douglas County School District has been using Oracle SQL Developer for the past year,” Tony Golden, programmer analyst, Douglas County School District, recently noted. “Particularly nice is the ability to have multiple database connections open at the same time and search across all database objects. It is readily available, easy to install, free, much more robust than our old tool. And it just keeps getting better.”
Then on page 24 I noticed:
To help ensure the security of the database, the Oracle Configuration Management Pack provides customizable search and compare features; historical change tracking; policy frameworks and compliance assessment; and a critical patch advisory.
I may have missed a reference, but it is clear to me that search and content processing is not a core focus of the Oracle 11g database. I have been unsuccessful in locating updated information about Secure Enterprise Search. The last version I have documented in SES 10g.
Has enterprise search been marginalized at Oracle? Oracle is a Google partner or was a Google partner. Is that solution available? What about the Triple Hop technology? If a reader has information that sheds light on these questions, please, post in the Comments section of this Web log.
