samelist
- Refers to a previously qualified list of Omnidex ids. Used in multiple
qualifies to refine queries.
samelist
operators
- AND, NOT, AND NOT (AND_NOT in oaqualify)
- Included in a QUALIFY
statements WHERE clause preceding the criteria predicate
- Specified as an option is OAQUALIFY
scalability
- The ability of a system to easily adapt to support larger or smaller
volumes of data and more or fewer users.
schema
- Database layout. A detailed and possibly graphical representation
of a database's design.
scrubbing
- The process of cleaning data to make it consistent in preparation
for data warehouse retrieval.
search item
- Primary key - SI
- A field within a table that is used for calculated access in parent
tables, and chained access in child tables
select item
select-list
- A comma separated list of items to be returned to the application
in a SQL SELECT statement. See the SQL
Reference for details on valid select-list items.
sequential read
- A search of a file or database performed by comparing successive records
with search criteria.
serial read
- A sequential read of records in a data set that is performed one block
of records at a time.
server
- A hardware component dedicated to a specific purpose.
- The part of the client/server architecture which refers to the host
CPU where the database and other corporate information is stored.
SI domain
- An affiliation of one parent table, and one or more child tables,
linked at installation, whose keyword values are all indexed in the
same indexes. See also: search item.
snowflake
schema
- A type of database design used in data warehousing involving multiple
tables in a hierarchy within a given dimension i.e., data is organized
into parent tables with branches to child tables and so-called grandparent
tables (snow flakes).
- When the schema is displayed graphically, it has the appearance of
a snow flake.
soundex
- ;SX
- an indexing option which allows data retrieval based on phonetic arguments,
useful for location of data with keys that are difficult to spell or
that can be spelled in several ways.
source
- In Multifind usage, refers to the item, set, or database that is supplying
the data values used as search arguments.
- Textual, uncompiled version of an Omnidex Environment Catalog.
- Textual, uncompiled version of a computer program.
special characters
- A character that is parsed by Omnidex before being indexed
- A character that is interpreted by Omnidex to have special meaning
SQL
- Structured Query Language
- A standardized computer language used to add, modify, delete, and
retrieve information from a database
star schema
- A type of database design used in data warehousing composed of a large
sized fact table combined with numerous dimension tables, i.e., parent
tables branched to child tables.
summary table
- A table containing pre-summarized data, typically used in ROLAP data
warehousing, used to perform fast look-ups against specific, predictable
combinations of criteria.
- Omnidex aggregation indexes eliminate the need for summary tables.
superview
- The technique of flattening out multiple tables into a single table
to facilitate very high-speed Omnidex access.
synchronous
- A process that is executed in conjunction with another process
- In Omnidex, index updates that are update at the same time that the
data updates occur.
System Data Source
- Windows only. An ODBC data source that is stored in the System's registry.
An Omnidex data source can be a System Data Source.
