SQL Packages Extension
The SQL packages extension provides SPL routines that you can use in an application that is compatible with database servers other than Informix®.
The SQL packages extension is a built-in extension in the extend/excompat directory of your installation. You must manually register the extension using the instructions in the HCL Informix DataBlade Module Installation and Registration Guide.
The database that contains the SQL packages extension must meet the following requirements or the extension is not registered:
- The database must be logged.
- The database must not be defined as an ANSI database.
The following modules are included in the SQL packages extension:
- DBMS_ALERT
- DBMS_LOB
- DBMS_OUTPUT
- DBMS_RANDOM
- UTL_FILE
