Create DataBlade® module objects

BladeSmith uses wizards to create and edit objects.

To start a wizard to create or add an object to your project, choose Edit > Insert > ObjectName. The last page of the wizard displays the SQL that BladeSmith generates for your object, if there is any.

If you are generating an object that can be secured, the last page of most wizards also allows you to specify privileges. You have these privilege options:
  • Grant usage privileges

    All users can access the object, but only the owner can delete it. The owner of an object is the user ID of the user that created the object in the database.

  • Grant none

    Only the owner can access or delete the object. Use this option only when there is a specific need to protect a type or routine.

See the Informix® Guide to SQL: Tutorial for more information about privileges.
