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.

Installation screen display text

BladePack provides default text strings for the InstallShield installation wizard screens for Windows™. You can override some of these text strings.

For example, in the Select Installation Type wizard, you can change the text that appears next to the words Typical, Compact, and Custom to provide your own definitions for these three types of installations. When you save a BladePack project, BladePack saves any new string definitions in the appropriate string files.
