Free Oracle Text Primer

November 19, 2010

From the blog Learn from Noah’s Ark, we have an excellent overview of Oracle Text. Oracle Text is built into the Standard and Enterprise versions of Oracle 11g, and “uses standard SQL to index, search, and analyze text stored in structured form inside Oracle database, or in unstructured form in either local file system, or on the Web.” Oracle Text supports multiple languages, offers many different ways of searching including keyword and Boolean, and allows users to receive search results in a variety of formats. The useful write-up of Oracle Text featured here includes information on the features of Oracle Text, an overview of the SQL API used in Oracle Text, a primer on creating indices in Oracle Text, and details on document services found within Oracle Text. A handy list of resources is useful for those who want or need more in-depth information on this product. No tips about improving performance on a shoestring, however.
