Oracle has a large variety of products which integrate with the database, and allow it to be managed, as well as, the general features within it. This section breaks down those products and features into groups and then looks at each group to see the strengths, weaknesses, and ideal enhancements the product needs to work best with unstructured data and multimedia.
The comments against each product and tool are my own personal comments based on usage and observation. They should in no way be used to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the database, as by the time of publication, some of these tools are likely be updated and offer new capabilities. The observations are accurate as of Oracle 11gR2. Though enhancement ideas are suggested, they are by no means a full set of potential features that can be added and just represent the tip of the iceberg.
