The following sample Environment Catalog Source is the minimum set of statements that will compile into an Omnidex Compiled Environment.

CREATE ENVIRONMENT tinyenv 
  IN "odx.xml"
  WITH delete;
  
CREATE DATABASE tinydb
  TYPE flatfile
  IN "odx.xml";

CREATE TABLE table1
  (
    myseq INTEGER,
    mytext char(50) quicktext,
  )
  IN "odx.xml";

This creates an Omnidex Environment named “tinyenv” with a single Database named “tinydb” with one table named “table1”. Because the DATABASE TYPE is “flatfile”, the name of the underlying operating system file for this table is “table1”. Typically a filespec location would be used. Copy and save this environment as “tiny.sql”.

  os> odxsql
  odxsql> use tiny.sql
  odxsql> exit

os> odxsql tiny.env

or

os> odxsql
> connect tiny.env

> create file table1

> insert into table1 values (1)

> select * from table1

After creating an Omnidex Environment and adding Omnidex indexes via DBINSTAL, applications can be developed using the DISC provided ODBC and JDBC drivers.

Create an ODBC or JDBC datasource using the Windows Client DataSource Editor (DSEDIT).

Name the file as “tiny.dsn”.

Or modify the following text file and save as tiny.dsn. Change the following lines to the correct path and filenames.

Change these three lines with:

• Host= Change this value to the name of computer being used for this test.
• ODBCDSNFILE= Change this value to the path and file name of the dsn file.
• FileSpec= Change this value to the path and filename of the Omnidex Environment file.

Cut and paste this text as “tiny.dsn” with the modifications and save in the same directory as the “tiny.env” Omnidex Environment file.

Host=tdo830
ODBCDSNFILE=C:\dev\odx\tiny\tiny.dsn
FileSpec=c:\dev\odx\tiny\tiny.env

Start a new command window as odxnet will run and await connections in the new command window.

 os> odxnet

Go back to the original command window and do the following:

 os> odxsql tiny.dsn -odbc

or run an ODXNET listener from within OdexSQL using the -odxnet command line option.

 os> odxsql -odxnet
 > connect tiny.dsn using odbc

Note that Omnidex will do a quick text (Keyword) retreival automatically
