Adding a Library

The Add Library command from the Library menu in the Library Browser enables you to add a new library to the current schema.

To add a library

1. Select the Add Library command from the Library menu in the Library Browser. The Add Library dialog is then displayed.

2. In the Name text box, enter the name of the library that you want to create. The name must begin with a lowercase character and it must be unique to the schema to which it is being added.

3. Click the OK button.

Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

The specified library containing your user-routine libraries is then displayed in the Library Browser. The Library Browser includes the full method name for each entrypoint, in the following format.

schema-name::class-name::method-name

You can create external methods or functions for your external routines (by using the New External Method command from the Methods menu or the External Functions command from the Schema menu, respectively), specifying the name of an existing library and the library entry points.

For details about adding external routines, see "Adding External Methods to Classes" or "Defining External Functions", earlier in this chapter.
