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_OUTPUT packageThe DBMS_OUTPUT package provides a set of procedures for putting messages (lines of text) in a message buffer and getting messages from the message buffer. These procedures are useful during application debugging when you need to write messages to standard output.
GET_LINES procedure The GET_LINES procedure gets one or more lines of text from the message buffer and stores the text in a collection. Each line of text must be terminated by an end-of-line character sequence.

GET_LINES procedure

The GET_LINES procedure gets one or more lines of text from the message buffer and stores the text in a collection. Each line of text must be terminated by an end-of-line character sequence.

Syntax

Procedure parameters

lines: An output argument of type DBMS_OUTPUT.CHARARR that returns the lines of text from the message buffer. The type DBMS_OUTPUT.CHARARR is internally defined as a VARCHAR(32672) ARRAY[2147483647] array.
numlines: An input and output argument of type INTEGER. When used as input, specifies the number of lines to retrieve from the message buffer. When used as output, indicates the actual number of lines that were retrieved from the message buffer. If the output value of numlines is less than the input value, then there are no more lines remaining in the message buffer.
