During the design step, key decisions are made about how to approach Omnidex queries and updates in the application. These decisions can lead to high-performing applications, and they can also lead to poor performance.

Most businesses access Omnidex databases using a standard ODBC or JDBC interface, and integration of Omnidex can be as simple as changing the connection string to point to Omnidex. Omnidex uses ANSI SQL as its base language, but also has a number of exte… text/html 2012-10-26T14:56:55+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v51/doku.php?id=admin:admin:applications:home&rev=1351263415&do=diff Omnidex Administration Building Omnidex Applications Omnidex applications tend to have a lifecycle. While they share some similarities with normal applications, they also have some unique steps that focus on the Omnidex indexing. The typical Omnidex application has seven stages in its lifecycle: text/html 2012-10-26T14:56:55+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v51/doku.php?id=admin:admin:applications:optimization&rev=1351263415&do=diff Administration: Administration Basics Building Omnidex Applications Design | Prototype | Development | Testing | Staging | Production | Optimization ---------- Optimization Omnidex applications are constantly evolving and the queries that are submitted to an application can change over time. The Omnidex indexing strategy must evolve with the application to insure that performance is maintained. This requires reviewing new queries and monitoring slow queries.

Usually, administrators create a smaller test database, and then create Omnidex indexes and run sample queries. Omnidex indexes can also be created on the production database if this is preferable.

Testing will help validate the indexing strategy and insure performance. Testing will also insure that there are no mistakes with either the application or SQL language interfaces.
