| - | {{page>:sql_bar&nofooter&noeditbtn}} | ||
| - | ===== Standard SQL Functions ===== | ||
| - | The Omnidex SQL Language supports several standard SQL Functions. These functions operate as defined in the SQL specification. | + | Omnidex Supports standard, extended, and RDBMS specific functions as follows: |
| - | ^ SQL Functions ^ Description ^ | + | * [[dev:sql:functions:standard:home | Standard SQL Functions ]] |
| - | | [[ CASE ]] | Allows simple IF..THEN..ELSE logic in a select-item. | | + | * [[dev:sql:functions:extended:home | Extended SQL Functions ]] |

| - | ===== Omnidex Extended Functions ===== | + | /* (This will be converted to a three-column once the underlying pages are written) */ |
