Developing an Interface Provider (IP) : Modeling Your database : Schema database configuration
 

Schema database configuration

When you have determined how your data source will be exposed in a relational view, the next step is to implement the schema.
If you are using the OpenAccess SDK Schema database, you will use DDL or INSERT statements to populate the schema tables.
If the IP is not using the OpenAccess SDK Schema database, then you will implement the schema in your IP, and you will need to code the SCHEMA functions. Read Schema definition and management to accomplish this.
This chapter steps through the procedure for configuring the OpenAccess SDK Schema Database for the CURVALUE table used in example1, which is installed with OpenAccess SDK. Refer to example3 for the same configuration implemented as a dynamic schema in the SCHEMA function of an IP.
Note: To define the schema for your IP, you must set up the development environment before you can populate the schema database for it. Refer to the appropriate OpenAccess SDK programmer’s reference (C/C++, Java, or .NET).
