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™.
Creating extensionsYou can create user-defined data types, routines, access methods, and other database objects to suit your needs. You can use application programming interfaces to write user-defined routines and applications that access data in HCL OneDB™ databases.
User-Defined Routines and Data Types Developer's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ User-Defined Routines and Data Types Developer's Guide describes how to define new data types and enable user-defined routines (UDRs) to extend HCL OneDB™.

The stat data type

The stat data type

The statcollect() and statprint() functions use an SQL data type called stat.

The corresponding C language structure is called mi_statretval. For an exact description of mi_statretval, see the libmi header file.

Most of the information in mi_statretval is manipulated internally. However, two fields must be filled in by statcollect():

The statdata field should contain the histogram for the distribution. UDTs are stored in a multirepresentational format.
The szind field should be set to either MI_MULTIREP_SMALL or MI_MULTIREP_LARGE.
