Extending HCL OneDB™Beyond standard relational database objects, HCL OneDB™ can be extended to handle specialized data types, access methods, routines, and other objects. Informix® includes many built-in extensions that are fully integrated in the database server. Informix® also provides DataBlade® modules, which are packages of extended database objects for a particular purpose and that are installed separately from the database server. Alternatively, you can create your own user-defined objects for Informix®.
HCL OneDB™ extensions and DataBlade® modulesThese topics describe how to use built-in database extensions and separately installed DataBlade® modules.
Database Extensions User's GuideThis publication explains how to use the database extensions that come with HCL OneDB™: Large Object Locator, MQ messaging, binary data types, basic text search, node data type, and SQL packages.The HCL® OneDB® Database Extensions User's Guide explains how to use the database extensions that come with HCL OneDB™: Large Object Locator, MQ messaging, binary data types, basic text search, node data type, HCL OneDB™ web feature service for Geospatial Data, and SQL packages.
MQ Messaging (WMQ) messaging products provide an infrastructure for distributed, asynchronous communication of data in a distributed, heterogeneous environment. The WMQ message queue allows you to easily exchange information across platforms.
MQ messaging tablesYou use Virtual-Table Interface (VTI) access method to access WMQ queues using HCL® OneDB® table semantics.
Table errorsTables that are mapped to WMQ can generate non-database errors if the underlying WMQ request fails.

Table errors

Tables that are mapped to WMQ can generate non-database errors if the underlying WMQ request fails.

In the example below, a VTI mapping was established using a bad service definition, and the error was not recognized until a SELECT statement was executed against the table.

BEGIN WORK;
EXECUTE FUNCTION MQCreateVtiReceive('vtiTable',"BAD.SERVICE");
SELECT * from vtitable; 

(MQ015) - FUNCTION:MqiGetServicePolicy, SERVICE:BAD.SERVICE, 
POLICY:IDS.DEFAULT.POLICY ::
BAD.SERVICE is not present in the database "informix".MQISERVICE table.
