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.
BladePackBladePack creates installation packages for DataBlade® modules and other software products.
BladePack overviewBladePack produces installation packages for installing products on UNIX™ and Microsoft™ Windows™ operating systems. BladePack can create a simple directory tree containing files to be installed or an installation that includes an interactive user interface.
BladePack windowsThe BladePack project window is divided into two panes: the project view and the item view.
Project viewThe project view has three tabbed pages: Files/Directories, Components, and Customization.
Customization tabThe Customization tab displays information that can be customized for the installation package.

The Customization tab displays information that can be customized for the installation package.

The Custom DLL Routine, Custom DLL Dialog, and Custom Program folders contain custom routines, dialog boxes, and executable programs for InstallShield installations on Windows™ operating systems and executable programs to run from within interactive installations on Windows or UNIX™ operating systems. You control when routines execute by specifying the execution sequence.

Tip: To add dialog boxes and routines to your installation package, create them using Microsoft™ Visual C++ and then add them to a dynamic link library (DLL). For examples, see the directory %ONEDB_HOME%\dbdk\setup\example.

The Readme Files folder contains files that you want to place unpacked on the first diskette of an InstallShield installation.

The Support Files folder contains a list of files that are available during the installation but are not installed with the product.
