 ==== Creating Segments ====
-=== Segment Types ===
-Omnidex Segments are separated into types that describe their content and their format:
-|< 100% 10% 15% 75% >|
-^ Type                      ^ File Extensions       ^ Description    ^
-| INDEX                     | .odxid                | This segment contains index pointers representing the rows that match the criteria. |
-| DATA                      | .dat                  | This segment contains data in binary format without delimiters. |
-| DELIMITED                 | .txt, .csv and .tdf   | This segment contains data in character format, with one value per line. |
-Omnidex Segments are separated into two types of persistence that describe how filenames and file cleanup are handled:
-^ Persistence               ^ Description                               ^
-| TEMPORARY                 | Object names are unique to a connection, but may repeat across connections.  Omnidex automatically manages the filenames for these segments. This segment can be dropped explicitly if needed; otherwise it will automatically dropped when the connection ends.  Segments are temporary by default. |
-| PERMANENT                 | Object names are unique to a connection, but may repeat across connections.  The user must provide unique filenames for these segments; otherwise, the object name is used as the filename.  This segment will only be deleted if explicitly dropped. |
-=== Creating Segments ===
 Segments are easily creating using the [[dev:sql:statements:create_segment:home|CREATE SEGMENT]] statement.  The following example shows a series of segments being created in a multi-step query.
 <code>
-> ; Create a series of index and data segment files, and then reuse them
+> ; Create a segment for Individuals in Denver, CO
-> ; in a final query.
+> create segment PART_1
->
->
-> ; Create a temporary index segment for Individuals in Denver, CO
-> create temporary index segment PART_1
 >>  as (select        INDIVIDUALS.$UNIQUEKEY
 >>        from        INDIVIDUALS
 >>        join        HOUSEHOLDS on INDIVIDUALS.HOUSEHOLD = HOUSEHOLDS.HOUSEHOLD
 >>        where       STATE = 'CO' and
->>                    CITY = 'Denver')
+>>                    CITY = 'Denver');
->>  with              delete;
 Segment PART_1 created with 37 rows
-> ; Create a temporary index segment for Individuals in Phoenix, AZ;
+> ; Create segment for Individuals in Phoenix, AZ;
--> create temporary index segment PART_2
+-> create segment PART_2
 >>  as (select        INDIVIDUALS.$UNIQUEKEY
 >>        from        INDIVIDUALS
 >>        join        HOUSEHOLDS on INDIVIDUALS.HOUSEHOLD = HOUSEHOLDS.HOUSEHOLD
 >>        where       STATE = 'AZ' and
->>                    CITY = 'Phoenix')
+>>                    CITY = 'Phoenix');
->>  with              delete;
 Segment PART_2 created with 27 rows
-> ; Create a temporary index segment for Individuals born since 1980;
+> ; Create segment for Individuals born since 1990;
-> create temporary index segment PART_3
+> create segment PART_3
 >>  as (select        INDIVIDUALS.$UNIQUEKEY
 >>        from        INDIVIDUALS
->>        where       BIRTHDATE >= 'January 1, 1980')
+>>        where       BIRTHDATE >= 'January 1, 1990');
->>  with              delete;
+Segment PART_3 created with 1,198 rows
-Segment PART_3 created with 1,882 rows
