What is Omnidex?
Omnidex finds the data that customers are looking for using flexible search capabilities that go well beyond a standard database. Omnidex indexes your textual data so that you can have search engine-like access to your database. Omnidex uses fuzzy searches to find what you are looking for, even if you don't know the exact search terms, and even if it is misspelled or transposed.
Omnidex supplements relational databases by adding speed and flexibility to the existing database. Omnidex does not alter the underlying database, thereby preserving the benefits and investment in the relational system. Meanwhile, applications gain the benefits of Omnidex, providing the best of both worlds.
Omnidex turns raw flatfiles into a high-performance database, providing a complete SQL engine using standard interfaces. Omnidex retrieves data directly from the flatfiles, avoiding the costs of importing data into proprietary solutions. Omnidex provides indexing and query optimization, allowing flatfiles to become database applications that outperform relational databases. Omnidex unlocks the value of the data files, transaction logs and delimited files throughout your organization.
