Omnidex Environments can be comprised of multiple databases. These databases can be of different types as well. For example, an environment can contain a database pointing to Oracle tables, and also contain a database pointing to raw data files or delimited files. All databases can have Omnidex indexes, and queries against this environment can reference tables from both databases. This capability is of great benefit to those who have transient log files or transaction files that they want to query in conjunction with a primary relational database. | Omnidex Environments can be comprised of multiple databases.
