Omnidex is a supplemental indexing system that can be used to enhance data retrieval from flat files and relational databases such as SQL Server. Oracle, and MySQL as well as any ODBC compliant database via the generic ODBC Database interface.
Omnidex provides retrieval capabilities beyond traditional retrieval.
Omnidex is a lightweight but powerful indexing system.
Omnidex works by specifying indexes on database columns or fields in files using the OdxAdmin Windows based program and storing the specification in an XML Catalog. The indexes can then be synchronized with the underlying data using the OdxAdmin program.
Applications can then utilize the Omnidex indexes for very fast and flexible retrieval using either an ODBC, JDBC, or a stored procedural interface.
