HCL OneDB client applications and utilities

In general, a client application is a program that runs on a workstation or a PC on a network.

To the GLS feature, a client application can be either the HCL OneDB™ SQL API product (such as ) or the HCL OneDB database server utility (such as DB-Access, dbexport, or onmode). These HCL® OneDB client applications support GLS:
  • The DB-Access utility, which is provided with HCL OneDB database servers, allows user-specifiable database objects such as tables, columns, views, statements, cursors, and SPL routines to include non-ASCII characters and to be sorted according to localized collation rules. For more information about identifiers, see Non-ASCII characters in identifiers. For general information about DB-Access, see the HCL OneDB DB-Access User's Guide.
  • The SQL APIs allow host and indicator variable names and names of user-specifiable database objects such as tables, columns, views, statements, cursors, and SPL routines to include non-ASCII characters. For more information, see General SQL API features (ESQL/C).
  • Database server utilities such as dbexport or onmode allow many command-line arguments to include non-ASCII characters. For more information, see Database server features.
