| + | :!: //These instructions show how to create Omnidex Grids using environment files that are compiled with OACOMP in Omnidex Version 5.0. This is an approach that pre-dated the use of SQL statements such as CREATE DATABASE or CREATE TABLE. Environment files that are compiled with OACOMP are still supported for backward compatability. Click [[admin:grid:creation:oacomp|here]] for instructions for Omnidex Version 5.1 and later.// | ||
| Omnidex Grids are straightforward to administer. Each grid node is a separate Omnidex environment, with an environment file, indexes and data. For convenience, there are methods to share a single Omnidex environment file across multiple nodes. There are also methods to share data files across multiple nodes. | Omnidex Grids are straightforward to administer.
