How You Install New Data Types in a Windows Environment
Ingres processes access the new data types and functions by means of a dynamic linked library (DLL), whose entry point is the routine IIudadt_register().
Installing a new data type or function consists of building the IILIBUDT.DLL using the User Defined Data Type Linker (iilink.exe) and copying the DLL into the %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\bin directory. The User Defined Data Type Linker prompts for the location of the source and library files to be used and backs up the existing DLL before replacing it.
Optionally, demo user defined data types can be installed using the User Defined Data Type Linker.
