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 extensionsYou 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 KitThe 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® Developers Kit User's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ DataBlade® Developers Kit Users Guide describes how to use OneDB® DataBlade® Developers Kit (DBDK) tools to develop and package DataBlade® modules.

The project view has three tabbed pages: Files/Directories, Components, and Customization.

Each page in the project view presents a hierarchical tree of the contents of the package. To expand or collapse a folder, click the expander button next to the folder or double-click the folder.

Important: The options you have for your installation package vary according to whether you are building a package for a UNIX™ installation, an InstallShield 3.1 installation for Windows™, or an InstallShield 5.1 installation for Windows. To determine which options are valid for your installation package, see the appropriate section on packaging.
