SQL programmingYou can use the HCL OneDB™ implementation of the SQL language to develop applications for database servers.
Guide to SQL: TutorialThe HCL OneDB™ Guide to SQL: Tutorial shows how to use basic and advanced structured query language (SQL) to access and manipulate the data in your databases. It discusses the data manipulation language (DML) statements as well as triggers and stored procedure language (SPL) routines, which DML statements often use.

Access ANSI databases

In ANSI databases, the owner of the object is part of the object name: ownername.objectname. When both the current and external databases are ANSI databases, unless you are the owner of the object, you must include the owner name. The following SELECT statement shows a fully-qualified table name:

SELECT name, number FROM salesdb@aserver:ownername.contacts

Tip: You can always over-qualify an object name. That is, you can specify the full object name, database@servername:ownername.objectname, even in situations that do not require the full object name.

For more information about ANSI-compliant databases, refer to the HCL OneDB™ Database Design and Implementation Guide.
