I thought compressing securefiles obligated the licensing of the advanced compression option.

If you're using the ordssys to just compress the image files in the db, then just store them as securefiles (compressed) it it will be ok. If you're using other features (image conversion, .....) then you'll need the apexmediaextension.

Unfortunately we missed the note that Multimedia has been desupported in 19c. Oracle docs recommend to use https://www.apexmediaextension.com/index.html Which is a paid option but was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and came up with some other solutions.

Link to Oracle Docs about the desupport
