Text Extender: Administration and Programming


About this book

DB2 UDB Text Extender is a full-text retrieval program primarily for searching in text files stored in a DB2 Universal Database database , but also for searching in text files stored elsewhere. It provides extensions to the Structured Query Language (SQL) that work with a powerful and intelligent search engine to let you search quickly and efficiently for information in unstructured text.

This book describes how to use Text Extender to prepare and maintain a DB2 database for text data. It also describes how you can use user-defined functions (UDFs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by Text Extender to access and manipulate this data. References in this book to "DB2" refer to DB2 UDB Version 6 or higher.
