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™.
HCL OneDB™ extensions and DataBlade® modulesThese topics describe how to use built-in database extensions and separately installed DataBlade® modules.

Transforming documents with XSLT functions

Apply XSL stylesheets and transforms to XML documents.

Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) uses XML elements to describe the format of a document. You can use the XSLT functions that HCL® OneDB® provides to apply XSL transformations (XSLT) to XML documents, resulting in a document in a different XML schema, HTML, PDF, or any defined type. XSL and XSLT are standards defined by the World Wide Web Consortium, which you can find at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.

HCL OneDB supports the XSLT version 1.0 standard for style sheets and uses the Xalan XSLT processor and the Xerces Java™ parser.

The documents take arguments of an XML file and a stylesheet. The output is a new document whose type is determined by the XSLT transform. The input arguments can be lvarchar, clob, or blob.
