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_get_db_locale() functionThe mi_get_db_locale() function returns the value of the current database locale.

The mi_get_db_locale() function

The mi_get_db_locale() function returns the value of the current database locale.

Syntax

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

Usage

The mi_get_db_locale() function returns the value of the current database locale, which indicates the locale that the database server uses. The server-locale name gives information about language, territory, code set, and optionally other information about the database server. For more information about the server locale, see the HCL OneDB™ GLS User's Guide.

The database server locale can be one of the following:

The current session locale, if it is different than the value of the DB_LOCALE environment variable
The value of DB_LOCALE
en_us.8859-1, if DB_LOCALE is not set

Return values

An mi_char pointer: A pointer to the name of the current database locale
