Hi sachinwadhwa,<br />
<br />
Bad news. &nbsp;Oracle Spatial is a proprietary product that has no equal in the DB2 world. &nbsp;If you're going to port your Spatial application to DB2 you've got a fair amount of work ahead of you. &nbsp;And I'm unaware of a DB2 Spatial extender product. &nbsp;You'll have to be somewhat creative.<br />
<br />

Good Luck!<br />

Hi sachinwadhwa,

Bad news.  Oracle Spatial is a proprietary product that has no equal in the DB2 world.  If you're going to port your Spatial application to DB2 you've got a fair amount of work ahead of you.  And I'm unaware of a DB2 Spatial extender product.  You'll have to be somewhat creative.


Good Luck!

Wow. &nbsp;That's news to me. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;Learn something every day, huh? &nbsp;Oracle has such a huge share of that market that I didn't even recognize IBM as a player there.<br />

There is even a Geodetic extender:<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have Oracle Spatial installed and its being used by an application. I guess spatial feature is just a add-on to standard oracle database.<br />
<br />
Can I use DB2 Information Integration to access data (and write back too) in Oracle Spatial ?<br />
<br />
If yes, will I need DB2 Spatial extender as well ?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

DB2 Information Integrator and Oracle Spatial

IBM DB2 is a family of relational database server products developed by IBM that have been extended to support object-relational features and non-relational structures like JSON and XML. There are three main products in the DB2 family: DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (informally known as DB2 LUW), DB2 for z/OS (mainframe), and DB2 for i (formerly OS/400), plus a version for IBM's Virtual Storage Extended (VSE) operating system.
