What are the Inso Filters?
Oracle8i (interMedia) and Oracle9i Text uses the Inso Chicago Corporation’s filtering technology, which enables the system to automatically detect and filter most document formats. With this single filtering technology, the system can index single or mixed format columns. Inso’s filtering technology is also used to create plain-text and HTML output for document presentation. Oracle will receive updates from Inso and will pass these on to customers in new product releases and in patch releases as appropriate. Third-party or custom filters may also be used through an external filter capability. [Back to Top] How can I get the Inso filters for my Oracle Text/interMedia Text versionX?
