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.
IFX_NO_TIMELIMIT_WARNING environment variable

IFX_NO_TIMELIMIT_WARNING environment variable

Trial or evaluation versions of HCL OneDB™ software products, which cease to function when some time limit has elapsed since the software was installed, by default issue warning messages that tell users when the license will expire. If you set the IFX_NO_TIMELIMIT_WARNING environment variable, however, the time-limited software does not issue these warning messages.

For users who dislike viewing warning messages, this feature is an alternative to redirecting the error output. Setting IFX_NO_TIMELIMIT_WARNING has no effect, however, on when a time-limited license expires; the software ceases to function at the same point in time when it would if this environment variable had not been set. If you do set IFX_NO_TIMELIMIT_WARNING, users will not see potentially annoying warnings about the impending license expiration, but some users might be annoyed at you when the database server (or whatever software has a time-limited license) ceases to function without any warning.
