Client APIs and toolsYou can use the HCL OneDB™ implementation of client APIs to develop applications for HCL OneDB™ database servers.
HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver GuideThe HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver Programmer's Manual serves as a user guide and reference for HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver, which is the HCL OneDB™ implementation of the Microsoft™ Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface, Version 3.0.
Smart large objectsThese topics describe how to store, create, and access a smart large object; how to transfer smart-large-object data; how to retrieve the status of a smart large object; and how to read or write a smart large object to or from a file.
Storage of smart large objectsThe smart-large-object specification structure stores the disk-storage information and create-time flags for a smart large object.
Inheritance hierarchyHCL OneDB™ uses an inheritance hierarchy to obtain storage characteristics.
User-defined storage characteristicsTo specify user-defined storage characteristics, call an ifx_lo_specset_* function.

User-defined storage characteristics

To specify user-defined storage characteristics, call an ifx_lo_specset_* function.

You can define a unique set of storage characteristics for a new smart large object, as follows:

For a smart large object that will be stored in a column, you can override some storage characteristics for the column when you create an instance of a smart large object.
If you do not override some or all of these characteristics, the smart large object uses the column-level storage characteristics.
You can specify a wider set of characteristics for a smart large object because a smart large object is not constrained by table column properties.
If you do not override some or all of these characteristics, the smart large object inherits the system-specified storage characteristics.
