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.

+ | For applications that require accessing multiple sources of data, it is also possible to temporarily [[admin:features:attach:home|attach a database or table]] to the current environment. This is useful for incorporating tables with search criteria from customers, or incorporating the results of previous orders. | ||
=== Omnidex Grid Environments === | === Omnidex Grid Environments === | ||
- | Omnidex is frequently used on very large databases, often with billions of rows. These databases are appropriate for an [[admin:features:grids:home|Omnidex Grid]]. Omnidex Grids distribute the data and indexing across multiple nodes, allowing indexing and queries to be processed on each node in parallel, or even limited to individual nodes. A Omnidex Grid Environment contains the standard database and indexing information, but also contains the configuration of the Omnidex Grids. | + | Omnidex is frequently used on very large databases, often with billions of rows.
