| - | Omnidex can automatically generate the CREATE ENVIRONMENT, CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE and CREATE INDEX statements needed for an Omnidex Environment File. The [[dev:sql:statements:extract:home|EXTRACT]] statement will connect to the underlying database using ODBC, query the database's schema information, and generate the appropriate statements. The EXTRACT statement can be issued through OdxSQL, or through any ODBC or JDBC application. | + | Omnidex can automatically generate the CREATE ENVIRONMENT, CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, and CREATE INDEX statements needed for an Omnidex Environment File.
