DataBlade® Developers Kit User's Guide
The HCL Informix® DataBlade® Developers Kit User's Guide describes how to use tools to develop and package DataBlade® modules.
A DataBlade® module extends the functionality of HCL Informix® to handle data with user-defined routines or to handle nontraditional kinds of data, such as full text, images, video, spatial, and time series data.
These topics are written for experienced C, C++, or Java™ programmers who are comfortable writing libraries to support applications. Use these topics to develop DataBlade® modules that extend your HCL Informix® database server.
If you are unfamiliar with DataBlade® modules, read Informix® DataBlade® Module Development Overview before you read these topics.
