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 mi_funcarg_get_tabid() functionThe mi_funcarg_get_tabid() function returns the table identifier for the column associated with the companion-UDR argument of a cost or selectivity function.

The mi_funcarg_get_tabid() function

The mi_funcarg_get_tabid() function returns the table identifier for the column associated with the companion-UDR argument of a cost or selectivity function.

Syntax

mi_integer mi_funcarg_get_tabid(funcarg_ptr)
   MI_FUNCARG *funcarg_ptr;

funcarg_ptr: A pointer to the MI_FUNCARG structure that describes a companion-UDR argument.


Valid in client LIBMI application?	Valid in user-defined routine?
No	Yes

Usage

The mi_funcarg_get_tabid() function returns the table identifier from the MI_FUNCARG structure that funcarg_ptr references. The MI_FUNCARG structure describes an argument of a companion UDR to its cost or selectivity function. Use the mi_funcarg_get_tabid() function only for companion-UDR arguments that are column values; that is, only arguments for which the mi_funcarg_get_argtype() function returns the MI_FUNCARG_COLUMN value. The table identifier identifies the table that contains the column associated with the funcarg_ptr companion-UDR argument. It is the value from the tabid column of the systables system catalog table.

Use the mi_funcarg_get_tabid() function in a cost or selectivity function to obtain the table identifier for the column with which an argument passed into the companion UDR is associated.

Return values

>= 0: The table identifier for the column associated with the companion-UDR argument.
MI_ERROR: The function was not successful.
