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® Developers KitThe DataBlade® Developers Kit (DBDK) guides contain information about the tools you can use to develop and package DataBlade® modules, which extend the functionality of HCL OneDB™ databases.
DataBlade® Developers Kit User's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ DataBlade® Developers Kit Users Guide describes how to use OneDB® DataBlade® Developers Kit (DBDK) tools to develop and package DataBlade® modules.

Create a project
DataBlade® module project nameThe project name is combined with the version numbers as a unique identifier to use to register the DataBlade® module in the database server and to create the installation directory.

DataBlade module project name

The project name is combined with the version numbers as a unique identifier to use to register the DataBlade® module in the database server and to create the installation directory.

The project name must follow standard directory naming conventions:

For HCL OneDB™ Version 9.2 and later, the maximum length of the project name is 32 characters.
For HCL OneDB Version 9.14, the maximum length of the project name is 18 characters.

If you change the project name or version numbers, you must regenerate files in BladeSmith.
