The easiest way to add Omnidex Indexing is to add indexing information beside each column in the CREATE TABLE statement. This will handle most simple installations of Omnidex. The example below shows the basic addition of Omnidex indexing to a database.

> CREATE TABLE          "HOUSEHOLDS"
>>  physical             "dat/households.dat"
>>  (
>>   "HOUSEHOLD"         CHARACTER(12)     omnidex,
>>   "ADDRESS"           CHARACTER(50)     quicktext,
>>   "CITY"              CHARACTER(28)     quicktext,
>>   "STATE"             CHARACTER(2)      omnidex,
>>   "ZIP"               CHARACTER(5)      omnidex,
>>   "COUNTRY"           CHARACTER(2)      omnidex,
>>   CONSTRAINT HOUSEHOLDS_HOUSEHOLD_PK PRIMARY ("HOUSEHOLD")
>>  )
>>  IN                   "simple.xml";
TABLE HOUSEHOLDS created IN simple.xml
>
>
> CREATE TABLE          "INDIVIDUALS"
>>  physical             "dat/individuals.dat"
>>  (
>>   "INDIVIDUAL"        CHARACTER(12)     omnidex,
>>   "HOUSEHOLD"         CHARACTER(12)     omnidex,
>>   "NAME"              CHARACTER(50)     quicktext,
>>   "GENDER"            CHARACTER(1)      omnidex bitmap,
>>   "BIRTHDATE"         ANSI DATE         omnidex,
>>   "PHONE"             CHARACTER(14)     omnidex,
>>   "EMAIL"             CHARACTER(60)     quicktext,
>>   CONSTRAINT INDIVIDUALS_INDIVIDUAL_PK PRIMARY ("INDIVIDUAL"),
>>   CONSTRAINT INDIVIDUALS_HOUSEHOLD_FK FOREIGN ("HOUSEHOLD") REFERENCES "HOUSEHOLDS"
>>  )
>>  IN                   "simple.xml";
TABLE INDIVIDUALS created IN simple.xml
