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.
Spatial Data User's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ Spatial Data User's Guide contains information to assist you in using the HCL® OneDB® spatial extension. The HCL® OneDB® spatial extension adds custom data types and supporting routines to the server.

ESRI shape representation

ESRI shape representation

The ESRI shape representation is an industry standard format that is used in ESRI shape files. You can use the SE_AsShape() function to retrieve geometries from a table in shape format. You can insert shape format data into database tables by using the SE_GeomFromShape(), SE_PointFromShape(), SE_PolyFromShape(), and other similar functions. All functions are described in detail in Spatial functions.

These topics provide background information about the ESRI shape representation.
