New Oracle Based Media-On-Demand Server
Database Plugins LLC. announces availability of the Database Media-On-Demand Server and the Database Plugin Server. Integrates FFMpeg with the Oracle Database.
Los Angeles, Ca(10 Sep 2012)
Database Plugins LLC. today announces the availability of two innovative products targeted at the Oracle marketplace. The Database Media-On-Demand Server provides specific support for the HTML5 <video> and <audio> tags as well as HTTP streaming of Flash videos. The Database Plugin Server and associated DBMPEG database plugin integrates the power, flexibility and feature support of FFMpeg with the Oracle Database.
The Database Media-On-Demand Server is a purpose built, Oracle enabled multimedia server that simplifies the complexity of integrating multimedia capabilities with the Oracle Database. The Database Media-On-Demand Server features a unique, inventive mechanism that integrates HTML5 and Flash videos with the Oracle Database. Web pages specify a URL that contains the location of a media resource. With the Database Media-On-Demand Server, this URL is an encoded reference to a PL/SQL function that returns the appropriate multimedia data-type. Programmers are able to freely associate multimedia data with structured data contained in the Oracle database. This multimedia data is stored directly in the database which ensures full referential integrity. Support for Oracle SecureFiles also enables a 'file-system' that is backed by the database. This provides support for applications that require a 'file-system' for the storage of multimedia data.
The innovation that sits at the center of this multimedia framework is the Database Plugin Server. The Database Plugin Server is a simple, effective mechanism that brings user-extensibility to the logical framework of a database. This allows for the inclusion of complex logic directly in the database. In this specific instance, the DBMPEG plugin integrates the FFMpeg toolkit with the Oracle Database. Programmers and systems architects are no longer limited by the incomplete native multimedia format support in the Oracle Database. By taking advantage of the advanced, extensible Multimedia Framework in Oracle 11g, the DBMPEG plugin can provide native support for all multimedia formats recognized by FFMpeg.
The Database Plugin Server unlocks the ubiquitous power of databases by enabling a Universal Data-Layer API. In the immediate example, the DBMPEG plugin is implemented as a PL/SQL package. This package is callable using standard SQL data access calls. Therefore, all programming languages and environments are able to utilize the features of the DBMPEG plugin by merely making a standard, familiar database function call!!!
