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 ifx_int8copy() functionThe ifx_int8copy() function copies one int8 structure to another.

The ifx_int8copy() function

The ifx_int8copy() function copies one int8 structure to another.

Syntax

void ifx_int8copy(source, target)
   ifx_int8_t *source;
   ifx_int8_t *target;

source: A pointer to the int8 structure that contains the source int8 value to copy.
target: A pointer to the target int8 structure.

Return values

The ifx_int8copy() function does not return a status value. To determine the success of the copy operation, look at the contents of the int8 structure to which the target argument points.
