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 DataBlade® Developers Kit (DBDK) tools to develop and package DataBlade® modules.
Getting started with DataBlade® module developmentThis section provides an overview of DataBlade® module development and describes the resources and tools the HCL OneDB™ database server provides to facilitate development.
Prepare to develop DataBlade® modulesThis section suggests how to prepare for developing DataBlade® modules. This overview is intended to act as a map for information resources.
Become familiar with HCL OneDB™ software and documentationFamiliarizing yourself with HCL OneDB™ software and documentation is critical for first-time DataBlade® developers. However, it is important for experienced DataBlade® developers too, because HCL OneDB™ software and documentation are enhanced in each release.
