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®.

Basic Text SearchYou can perform basic text searching for words and phrases in a document repository stored in a column of a table.
Basic text search queriesYou run basic text search queries with the bts_contains() search predicate.
Basic Text Search query term modifiers
Proximity searchesYou can specify the number of nonsearch words that can occur between search terms in a proximity search.

Proximity searches

You can specify the number of nonsearch words that can occur between search terms in a proximity search.

To perform a proximity search, enclose the search terms within double quotation marks and append a tilde (~) followed by the number of nonsearch words allowed. For example, to search for the terms curb and lake within 8 words of each other within a document, use the following search predicate:

bts_contains(column, ' "curb lake"~8 ')
