can the DB2 Spatial Extender be used together with DB2 for z/OS anyways...?
I've read on the IBM Pages, that DB2 Spatial Extender runs on WIN/UX
Platforms (but not z/OS Unix System Services) only, but it is not clear to
me, if it can be connected to a DB2 for z/OS system by means of the DB2
Connect product or not.
Any advice will be appreciated!

You cannot store spatial data using the extender's model on DB2 for zOS. YouQuote:> Hello!

1. Probs with DB2/DB2 spatial extender
Hello again,
first of all thanks to your quick response. Meanwhile, i tried to use the
extender with the db2-clp. Everything works fine, so i think that the
control center hasnt been set up properly or that it comprises a kind of
bug. To lose no further time, i decided to do my researches via the clp.
This leads to a new question: Can anybody tell me how to specify a spatial
reference system from the clp? In the guide, i only found an explanation of
the necessary steps with the control center. Or can anyone point me to an
URL where this is explained in detail?
(I want to specify a spatial reference system with normal GPS-format
(WGS-84, lat/lon-based), scale factor 10^5).
Again, thanks to all,
Greets,
Achim
