Designing databasesThe first step in creating a relational database is to construct a data model, which is a precise, complete definition of the data you want to store. After you prepare your data model, you must implement it as a database and tables. To implement your data model, you first select a data type for each column and then you create a database and tables and populate the tables with data. You can also implement fragmentation strategies and control access to your data.
Designing and Implementing a DatabaseThe HCL OneDB™ Database Design and Implementation Guide provides information to help you design, implement, and manage your HCL® OneDB® databases. It includes data models that illustrate different approaches to database design and shows you how to use structured query language (SQL) to implement and manage your databases.

Fundamental or atomic data types

All HCL® OneDB® database servers support the fundamental, or atomic, data types. These types are fundamental because they are the smallest units that you can specify in a SELECT statement. Only HCL OneDB supports extended and predefined data types. The predefined data types are in a separate category because they share certain characteristics with extended data types but are provided by the database server.

For an explanation of the fundamental data types, see Select data types.
