Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: storing wave files in database(Oracle)
Shibu - One piece of advice I received was that unless you are manipulating
the audio/video data inside Oracle, you may be better off storing them in
external files. Oracle has some overhead in storing and retrieving the data
that may be significantly higher than just using the operating system.
Again, this was just something a knowledgeable person mentioned, nothing I
have tested myself, so I will be interested in the results anyone else has
experienced.
If you are still bent on storing the wave files in Oracle, I would
suggest that reviewing various tuning techniques that can optimize the speed
of storing data.
