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® API Function ReferenceThe HCL OneDB™ DataBlade® API Function Reference describes the DataBlade® API functions and the subset of functions that the DataBlade® API supports.
Function descriptionsThis section gives comprehensive reference information about the functions that are valid within DataBlade® API modules. It lists the function descriptions in alphabetical order, with syntax, usage information, and return values for the functions.
The biginttoasc() functionThe biginttoasc() function converts a BIGINT type value to a C char type value.

The biginttoasc() function

The biginttoasc() function converts a BIGINT type value to a C char type value.

Syntax

mint biginttoasc(bigintv, strng_val, len, base)
	const bigint bigintv
	char *strng_val
	mint len
  mint base

bigintv: A bigint value to convert to a text string.
strng_val: A pointer to the first byte of the character buffer to contain the text string.
len: The size of strng_val, in bytes, minus 1 for the null terminator.
base: The numeric base of the output. Base 10 and 16 are supported. Other values result in base 10.
