DataBlade module components

You can include the following objects in the DataBlade module project you create with the DataBlade Developers Kit:

Aggregates: Perform user-defined computations on data
Data types: Characterize data to the database server (either built-in data types or new data types)
Routines: Operate on or return data
Casts: Convert data from one type to another
Interfaces: Create dependencies between DataBlade modules
Errors: Create messages raised by user-defined routines that appear as standard database server messages
Unit tests: Test your database objects during the coding and debugging cycle
Functional tests: Validate your completed DataBlade module routines
Imported SQL files: Include custom SQL statements to create tables, user-defined access methods, and other database objects in your DataBlade module
Imported client files: Include client components, such as query tools and ActiveX value objects, in your DataBlade module package

The DataBlade Developers Kit generates the SQL for each of the objects that you define or include.

Important : Not all database objects and options described in this section are available with all versions of HCL Informix®. For more information, see the HCL Informix DataBlade Developers Kit User's Guide.
