Client APIs and toolsYou can use the HCL OneDB™ implementation of client APIs to develop applications for HCL OneDB™ database servers.
HCL OneDB™ JDBC Driver GuideThe HCL OneDB™ JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide describes how to install, load, and use HCL OneDB™ JDBC Driver to connect to the HCL OneDB™ database from within a Java™ application.
Appendixes
Convert internal HCL OneDB™ data typesFor your Java™ application to work with the internal server representation of HCL OneDB™ data types, use the IfxToJavaType class. For example, if your application is using the HCL® OneDB® Change Data Capture API, you can use the IfxToJavaType class to interpret the byte stream.
The IfxToJavaType classThe IfxToJavaType class handles all the HCL OneDB™ to Java™ data type conversions. Separate methods are provided for converting each HCL OneDB™ data type.
The widenByte() methodThe widenByte() method moves BYTE into the short data type in such a way that the high bit is not propagated.
