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_int8tolong() functionThe ifx_int8tolong() function converts an int8 type number into a C long type number.

The ifx_int8tolong() function

The ifx_int8tolong() function converts an int8 type number into a C long type number.

Syntax

mint ifx_int8tolong(int8_val, lng_val)
   ifx_int8_t *int8_val;
   int4 *lng_val;

int8_val: A pointer to the int8 structure that contains the value to convert to an int4 integer value.
lng_val: A pointer to an int4 structure to contain the result of the conversion.

0: The conversion was successful.
-1200: The magnitude of the int8 type number is greater than 2,147,483,647.
