Omnidex is especially versatile at accessing data files from many different external sources. Omnidex can also be used to create raw data files from another data source using standard SQL statements. text/html 2016-06-28T22:38:51+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v54/doku.php?id=integration:rawdata:environments&rev=1467153531&do=diff Integration: Raw Data Files Overview | File Types | Environments | Queries | Updates | Generating Data Files | Integration Guides ---------- Environments and Raw Data Files Omnidex provides access to raw data files by creating a database around them. The Omnidex administrator creates an Omnidex Environment File that declares a complete database with table and column definitions, table constraints, and Omnidex indexes. The tables simply point to the raw data files as their source of data.

These integration guides cover how to declare the data files in the Omnidex Environment File, how to deal with data-specific issues and datatypes, and how to create the data files using the EXPORT SQL statement. text/html 2016-06-28T22:38:51+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v54/doku.php?id=integration:rawdata:queries&rev=1467153531&do=diff Integration: Raw Data Files Overview | File Types | Environments | Queries | Updates | Generating Data Files | Integration Guides ---------- Querying Raw Data Files Omnidex allows applications to issue SQL statements against raw data files using standard ODBC and JDBC interfaces. Once a raw data file has been included in an Omnidex Environment File, it is treated like a standard table. Applications can relate with this data file as a standard table, just as though the table was resident in… text/html 2016-06-28T22:38:51+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v54/doku.php?id=integration:rawdata:see_also&rev=1467153531&do=diff * Integration * Relational Databases * Raw Data Files * Fixed-length Files * Delimited Files * Standalone Tables text/html 2016-06-28T22:38:51+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v54/doku.php?id=integration:rawdata:types&rev=1467153531&do=diff Integration: Raw Data Files Overview | File Types | Environments | Queries | Updates | Generating Data Files | Integration Guides ---------- File Types Omnidex supports a variety of raw data files. Fixed-length files are a simple binary, flat file that uses a consistent number of bytes per row. Delimited files store data in character format and use delimiters to separate columns and rows. Omnidex Standalone Tables (OSTs) are proprietary files that store data in a compressed fashion and ca… text/html 2016-06-28T22:38:51+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.omnidex.com/docs/v54/doku.php?id=integration:rawdata:updates&rev=1467153531&do=diff Integration: Raw Data Files Overview | File Types | Environments | Queries | Updates | Generating Data Files | Integration Guides ---------- Updating Raw Data Files Omnidex allows raw data files to be updated with some limitations; however, the large majority of Omnidex applications simply replace some or all of the data files and reload the Omnidex indexes.
