BladeManager

You use BladeManager to register or unregister your DataBlade® module in a database and to install or uninstall DataBlade® module client files.

After you install a DataBlade® module on a database server, you must register it in every database that uses the module. Registration involves executing the DataBlade® SQL scripts to create DataBlade® objects in the database and making the DataBlade® shared object or dynamic link library available to the database server.

BladeManager checks for dependencies between DataBlade® modules. If you have imported an interface from another DataBlade® module, BladeManager registers your DataBlade® module only after it confirms that the interface is registered in the database.

If you are upgrading your DataBlade® module, BladeManager automatically unregisters the previous version.

You can also unregister any module by using BladeManager. BladeManager does not allow you to unregister a DataBlade® module if there is another DataBlade® module that depends on it or if any of its objects are in use by the database.
