Omnidex is used in a wide variety of applications. Essentially, Omnidex is used when you need high performance and increased flexibility. Some of the more common Omnidex applications include:
Businesses own a lot of data that resides outside of the relational database. Transaction logs contain valuable answers about the day's activity. Branch offices or vendors send raw data files, or “flat files”, that deserve immediate attention. Currently, businesses overload their relational databases by importing these raw data files simply because they want to use SQL. Give your relational database a rest. Your raw data files are good enough as they are. Omnidex can provide standard SQL access to these files without having to involve a relational database.
This approach has become so common that it has a name: the NoSQL movement. Companies with lots of data want high-performance alternatives to standard relational databases. Omnidex provides the best of both worlds: fast queries against raw data files using both standard and extended SQL.
Omnidex can index and search raw data files using a standard SQL engine, available through standard interfaces like ODBC and JDBC. For many raw data files, there is no advantage to the complexities of a relational databases and there are plenty of advantages to making it available quickly.
