The DBDK Visual C++ Add-In is a toolbar that appears in Microsoft™ Visual C++ after
you install DBDK.
The add-in aids you in debugging DataBlade® modules
in the following ways:
If you are using a local database server for debugging, the add-in
automates tasks from compiling through reaching the first breakpoint
in your source code. In this case, you must have your database server
on the same computer as the Informix®DataBlade® Developers Kit (DBDK) you
used to develop your DataBlade® module.
If you are using a remote database server, the add-in automates
the following tasks:
Installing the DataBlade® module
project file
Installing the DataBlade® module
SQL scripts
Registering the DataBlade® module
The add-in toolbar contains seven buttons. To see the name of each
command, position the mouse pointer over the button. The following
figure shows the add-in toolbar. Figure 1. DBDK Visual C++ Add-In
The primary add-in command is the Debug DataBlade® Module command;
it completes all the tasks necessary to bring your DataBlade® module
to the first debugging breakpoint. When you use the Debug DataBlade® Module command
to start debugging, the IfxQuery tool is launched from within Visual
C++ when an SQL unit test file is the active window.
