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.

Description locale

Description locale

A GLS description locale is a set of files that contain information specific to a particular language and culture. A GLS locale provides the following information:

The name of the code set that the application data uses
The collation order to use for character data
The format in which different types of data are displayed

The default locale is the locale that your Windows™ installation uses. For example, Windows installations running US English use the en_us.1252 locale. To change the locale, type a new locale specification in the Description Locale field. See the HCL OneDB™ GLS User's Guide for more information about locales and how to access a list of available locales.

When you generate SQL scripts, BladeSmith uses the locale information to generate a locale-specific prepare script and locale-specific error scripts.
