Client objects and programs

You can use the following types of client objects and programs with your DataBlade module applications:

ActiveX value objects

An ActiveX value object encapsulates data retrieved from the HCL Informix® database server about an opaque type and its support routines for use by a client application. The DataBlade Developers Kit generates code for ActiveX value objects. You can use ActiveX value objects in a Microsoft Visual Basic program.

Java™ value objects

A Java value object encapsulates data retrieved from the HCL Informix database server about an opaque type and its support routines for use by a client application. The DataBlade Developers Kit generates code for Java value objects.

Client visualization tools

A visualization tool enables you to view and manipulate data retrieved by DataBlade modules with third-party applications.
