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_lo_from_string() functionThe mi_lo_from_string() function converts an LO handle in its text representation to its binary representation.

The mi_lo_from_string() function

The mi_lo_from_string() function converts an LO handle in its text representation to its binary representation.

Syntax

MI_LO_HANDLE *mi_lo_from_string(LOhdl_str)
   char *LOhdl_str;

LOhdl_str: The text representation of the LO handle to convert.


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

Usage

The mi_lo_from_string() function converts the text version of an LO handle, which LOhdl_str references, to the binary representation for the LO handle. It is a constructor function for an LO handle.

Server only: The mi_lo_from_string() function allocates a new LO handle in the current memory duration.

Return values

An MI_LO_HANDLE pointer: An LO handle that The binary representation of the text LO handle that LOhdl_str references.
NULL: The function was not successful.
