The DB2 extenders exploit the object-oriented features of DB2. In particular, with DB2 you can:

The DB2 extenders create UDTs and UDFs for image, audio, video, and text objects. The UDTs and UDFs can be important aids in helping you:

And because the objects that the extenders process can be stored in a DB2 database, the same security, integrity, and recovery protections are in place for those objects as for traditional data types stored in the database.

In addition, the DB2 extenders exploit the partitioned database environment of DB2 Universal Database Enterprise- Extended Edition. Partitioning allows applications to use a database that is too large for a single computer. Partitioning also allows SQL operations to perform in parallel, thereby speeding up SQL queries or utilities.
