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™.
HCL OneDB™ extensions and DataBlade® modulesThese topics describe how to use built-in database extensions and separately installed DataBlade® modules.
Database Extensions User's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ Database Extensions User's Guide explains how to use the database extensions that come with HCL OneDB™: Large Object Locator, MQ messaging, binary data types, basic text search, node data type, HCL OneDB™ web feature service for Geospatial Data, and SQL packages.
SQL Packages ExtensionThe SQL packages extension provides SPL routines that you can use in an application that is compatible with database servers other than HCL OneDB™.
DBMS_RANDOM packageThe DBMS_RANDOM package provides a mechanism for generating random numbers. Use the INITIALIZE procedure to set the seed value, which is used by the random number generator to generate the numbers.
RANDOM function The RANDOM function uses the seed value to return a random integer.
