Summary :
This SAP Note outlines the features of Oracle 11g's SECUREFILES, a new method for storing LOB (Large Object) data, including BLOBs and CLOBs. It introduces an advancement over the previous method, BasicFiles, offering enhanced performance, especially for LOB sizes over 8KB, due to optimized algorithms that reduce CPU utilization. SECUREFILES also supports advanced features like compression with varying levels, encryption through Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), and advanced logging options. Additionally, it integrates with several Oracle Database capabilities including transactions, partitioning, and Automatic Storage Management (ASM). For SAP systems, usage conditions and prerequisites like appropriate setting of the 'db_securefile' initialization parameter and patch applications are detailed to ensure compatibility and system stability.
