Database File System (DBFS)

This part covers issues that you must consider when designing applications that use Database File System (DBFS) and DBFS content stores.

SecureFiles is the default storage mechanism for LOBs starting with Oracle Database 12c.

• Chapter 5, "Introducing the Database File System"

• Chapter 6, "DBFS SecureFiles Store"

• Chapter 7, "DBFS Hierarchical Store"
