Omnis applications have run-time costs associated with them. The same run time can be used with as many Omnis applications as necessary. Web-based solutions are priced based upon the number of connections supported by the server. Subscription pricing with continued tech support is available as well. Omnis Studio uses Ominis' own single inheritance, object-based programming language.
ODBC support is available on some platforms.
Omnis Studio is similar to Microsoft Access in that both incorporate an interactive development environment with database creation and manipulation tools, but there are major differences. Omnis tasks are actually groupings of components like forms, objects, and databases. Actually everything is an object, and the basic set of objects is small, just over half a dozen, making the system easy to understand. Inheritance makes creation of enhanced objects easy. We used Omnis Studio's wizards to quickly set up applications.
