Overview

DB2 Geodetic Extender

DB2 Geodetic Extender supports treatment of the Earth like a globe rather than a flat map making it easier to develop applications that require geographical location analysis.

  • DB2 Geodetic Extender can construct a virtual globe at any scale.
  • Most location information is collected using worldwide systems such as global positioning satellite (GPS) and represented in latitude/longitude coordinates (geocode).
  • Business data such as addresses can be converted to a geocode by DB2 Spatial Extender.
  • Enterprise applications work better when they keep the data in this unprojected form, leaving map projections (earth to flat map) where they belong: in the presentation layer to display and print maps.
  • The DB2 Geodetic Extender is available as priced option for DB2 ESE only.
