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™.
Environment variablesVarious environment variables affect the functionality of your HCL OneDB™ products. You can set environment variables that identify your terminal, specify the location of your software and define other parameters.
Environment variables in HCL OneDB™ productsThe topics that follow discuss (in alphabetic order) environment variables that HCL OneDB™ database server products and their utilities use.
DBPATH environment variableUse the DBPATH environment variable to identify the database servers that contain databases. DBPATH can also specify a list of directories (in addition to the current directory) in which DB-Access looks for command scripts (.sql files).
Using DBPATH with DB-Access

Using DBPATH with DB-Access

If you use DB-Access and select the Choose option from the SQL menu without having already selected a database, you see a list of all the .sql files in the directories listed in your DBPATH. After you select a database, the DBPATH is not used to find the .sql files. Only the .sql files in the current working directory are displayed.
