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.

Packaging for InstallShield 5.1 installationsTo package your DataBlade® module, you add content to a BladePack project, assign components, customize the installation procedure, and build the package.
Establish content
Files and directories to be installed
Specify a target directory

Specify a target directory

You have the following options in the list for the Directory on target machine field:

__home. The directory the installer chooses during the installation process. By default this directory is $ONEDB_HOME.
__system. The Windows™ system directory.
__windows. The Windows directory.

The target directory for the DataBlade® module files (project.bld and the SQL scripts) are the extend/project directory under the $ONEDB_HOME directory.

For InstallShield 5.1, BladePack puts files that are installed in different directories into different subcomponents; user files are put in the main component, while system files are put in a subcomponent.
