DB2 Spatial Extender configuration

A DB2 Spatial Extender system consists of DB2 Universal Database, DB2 Spatial Extender, and a geobrowser (for example, ArcExplorer). Typically, a database that is enabled for spatial operations is located on the server. You use client applications to access spatial data through the DB2 Spatial Extender stored procedures and spatial queries. In addition, you can view spatial data with a geobrowser.

Figure 5 illustrates the architecture of DB2 Spatial Extender.
