Oracle Ultra Search

Last updated


Oracle Corporation's Oracle Ultra Search (also known as Ultrasearch) allows the generation of indexes to textual material stored (for example) on web-servers, file-servers, databases and mail-systems. It uses crawlers and Oracle Text utilities to build its indexes, which it then makes available within an Oracle database.

Oracle Corporation makes Ultrasearch available free-of-charge to customers who purchase an Oracle database, an Oracle Application Server or the Oracle Collaboration Suite.

The Oracle Application Server 10g, consists of an integrated, standards-based software platform. It forms part of Oracle Corporation's Fusion Middleware technology stack. The heart of Oracle Application Server consists of Oracle HTTP Server and OC4J which deploys Java EE-based applications. The latest version of OC4J offers full compatibility with the Java EE 1.4 specifications.

Launched in 2000, after earlier product lines including "Oracle Mail" and "Oracle InterOffice", the Oracle Collaboration Suite was software by Oracle Corporation for enterprise collaboration, a database-driven communications and messaging application platform with uses similar to Microsoft Exchange. The Suite is used internally by Oracle and sold to customers. Initially marketed as a unified messaging system, features were later added, including:

By default, Oracle Ultra Search uses the WKSYS schema and the DRSYS tablespace.

A tablespace is a storage location where the actual data underlying database objects can be kept. It provides a layer of abstraction between physical and logical data, and serves to allocate storage for all DBMS managed segments. Once created, a tablespace can be referred to by name when creating database segments.

History

Oracle Search originated with Oracle 9i. [1]
