Extending
HCL OneDB™
Beyond standard relational database objects,
HCL OneDB™
can be extended to handle specialized data types, access methods, routines, and other objects.
HCL OneDB™
includes many built-in extensions that are fully integrated in the database server.
HCL OneDB™
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
HCL OneDB™
.
Creating extensions
You can create user-defined data types, routines, access methods, and other database objects to suit your needs. You can use application programming interfaces to write user-defined routines and applications that access data in
HCL OneDB™
databases.
DataBlade®
Developers Kit
The
DataBlade®
Developers Kit (DBDK) guides contain information about the tools you can use to develop and package
DataBlade®
modules, which extend the functionality of
HCL OneDB™
databases.
DataBlade®
Module Development Overview
These topics serve as an overview of the
HCL OneDB™
DataBlade®
module development process.

DataBlade®
module concepts
What are
DataBlade®
modules?
A
DataBlade module
is a software package that extends the functionality of
HCL OneDB™
.
Why extend your
HCL OneDB™
database server?
The primary advantages of using the extensibility of
HCL OneDB™
over using traditional relational databases and applications are better performance, simpler applications, transaction control, and scalability.

Why create a DataBlade module?
Why use the
DataBlade®
Developers Kit?
Although you can create a
DataBlade®
module manually, you can reduce development time considerably if you use the
DataBlade®
Developers Kit.
DataBlade®
modules and the database server
This section describes the overall architecture of the
HCL OneDB™
database server, how
DataBlade®
modules affect database server processes, and the application programming interfaces you can use in your
DataBlade®
modules and client applications.
