Release Notes
Connection and Query Monitoring
AutoComplete
Omnidex now supports
AutoComplete, a feature that allows applications to display relevant choices and their counts as the user types characters into a search field.
Connection strings
Omnidex now provides broad support for
connection strings throughout the product. Connection string provide a simple and universal way of connecting to an Omnidex Environment File.
Omnidex Grids
Omnidex Grids now allow a new node type called Rollup Nodes that are used to support Omnidex Rollup Tables that span all nodes. Customers that have previously used Unpartitioned Nodes for this purpose should switch to Rollup Tables to improve the performance of building indexes.
Omnidex Grids now support an UNINDEXED option within the NODE clause of the CREATE TABLE statement. This clause indicates that the table should not be indexed for a particular node. This is often used in Rollup Nodes to avoid the indexing of the tables that underlay rollup tables.
Omnidex Grids now support Grid Connection Pooling, designed specifically for a grid environment. Connection pooling supports a grid by intelligently obtaining and releasing connections to the nodes in a common pool, increasing performance and reduces resource usage.
SQL Engine
Omnidex now supports timezones when working with date-class datatypes.
Omnidex now supports the
$GETENV function for referencing environment variables in Omnidex SQL statements.
Omnidex now supports spaces in filenames and directory names throughout the Omnidex product on Microsoft Windows operating systems.
