| - | ====== Omnidex Overview ====== | ||
| - | 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. | ||
| - | Lots of complex criteria very quickly | ||
| - | Text searches – words/values within a column | ||
| - | Active Counts/Count Engine – the best/fast count engine | ||
| - | Powersearch – fuzzy search | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Omnidex is a lightweight but powerful indexing system. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== How Omnidex works ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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 file. The indexes can then be syncronized with the underlying data using the OdxAdmin program. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Applications can then utilize the Omnidex indexes for very fast and flexible retrieval using either an [[development:interfaces:odbc|ODBC]], [[development:interfaces:jdbc|JDBC]], or a stored procedureal interface. | ||
