An object name is not required since the SEGMENT function can reference a filename directly; however, it can be helpful for applications that generate the SELECT statement in one module and prepare the data for the SELECT stat… text/html 2016-06-28T22:38:51+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v54/doku.php?id=admin:features:segments:creating&rev=1467153531&do=diff Administration: Omnidex Features Omnidex Segments Overview | Creating Segments | Querying Segments | Dropping Segments ---------- Creating Segments Segments are easily creating using the CREATE SEGMENT statement.

For example, many applications maintain a permanent record of the results of a query, such as recording all of the customer numbers associated a mailing. In this example, the customer numbers may be reused at a later date to fulfill a similar order, or may be used as crite… text/html 2016-06-28T22:38:51+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v54/doku.php?id=admin:features:segments:dropping&rev=1467153531&do=diff Administration: Omnidex Features Omnidex Segments Overview | Creating Segments | Querying Segments | Dropping Segments ---------- Dropping Segments Omnidex Segments can be dropped, resulting in the removal of the object from the connection, and also the removal of the underlying data. It is not required to drop segments, as they will be automatically dropped when the connection ends. Dropping segments is required when reusing the same connection name within the same connection. text/html 2016-06-28T22:38:51+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v54/doku.php?id=admin:features:segments:home&rev=1467153531&do=diff Administration: Omnidex Features Omnidex Segments Overview | Index Segments | Creating Segments | Querying Segments | Dropping Segments ---------- Overview Some applications process their queries in multiple steps. The first step isolates some rows based on a first group of criteria. The second step either refines those rows, or isolates a new set of rows based on a second group of criteria.

The $SEGMENT function references the object name for any segment previously created in the same connection. Since Omnidex Segments already contain index pointers, they are incorporated into a search with very high performance.
