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_issmall_data() functionThe mi_issmall_data() macro determines whether storage of data is or is not in a smart large object.

The mi_issmall_data() function

The mi_issmall_data() macro determines whether storage of data is or is not in a smart large object.

Syntax

mi_boolean mi_issmall_data(size)
   MI_MULTIREP_SIZE size;

size: The value of the threshold-tracking field in the internal representation of a multirepresentational opaque type. This field is set to either MI_MULTIREP_SMALL or MI_MULTIREP_LARGE.


Valid in client LIBMI application?	Valid in user-defined routine?
Yes	Yes

The mi_issmall_data() macro checks the size value and sets the return value to indicate whether data is or is not stored in a smart large object.
