SQL programmingYou can use the HCL OneDB™ implementation of the SQL language to develop applications for HCL OneDB™ database servers.
Guide to SQL: ReferenceThe HCL OneDB™ Guide to SQL: Reference contains the reference information for the system catalog tables, data types, and environment variables of the HCL OneDB™ dialect of the SQL language, as implemented in HCL OneDB™. These topics also include information about the stores_demo, sales_demo, and superstore_demo databases that are included with HCL OneDB™.
Data typesEvery column in a table in a database is assigned a data type. The data type precisely defines the kinds of values that you can store in that column.
Description of Data Types
BIGINT data typeThe BIGINT data type stores integers from -(2⁶³ -1) to 2⁶³ -1, which is –9,223,372,036,854,775,807 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, in eight bytes.

BIGINT data type

The BIGINT data type stores integers from -(2⁶³ -1) to 2⁶³ -1, which is –9,223,372,036,854,775,807 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, in eight bytes.

This data type has storage advantages over INT8 and advantages for some arithmetic operations and sort comparisons over INT8 and DECIMAL data types.
