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).
Searching networked computers for databases

Searching networked computers for databases

About this task

If you use more than one database server, you can set DBPATH explicitly to contain the database server and directory names that you want to search for databases. For example, if INFORMIXSERVER is set to quality, but you also want to search the marketing database server for /usr/joachim, set DBPATH as the following example shows:

setenv DBPATH //marketing/usr/joachim:/usr/sonja
