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.

Registry keys for Windows

When you install the OneDB® DataBlade® Developers Kit (DBDK), one of the installation screens allows you to specify InstallShield support, if you have InstallShield installed on your computer.

The version and directory of InstallShield you choose on that screen determines the value of the following registry keys:

AlwaysUseInstallShield5. Sets the version:
- 0 indicates that you have InstallShield 3.1 or that you do not have InstallShield 5.1 on your computer.
- 1 indicates that you have InstallShield 5.1 on your computer.
IShieldDir. Sets the directory.

You can reset the version and directory of InstallShield by editing these registry keys in the registry.

The AlwaysUseInstallShield5 key is in the following registry directory: hkey_local_machine\software\HCL OneDB\BladePack

The IShieldDir key is in the following registry directory: hkey_current_user\Environment
