This section provides reference information about the stored procedures that
you can use to set up DB2 Spatial Extender and create projects that use spatial
data. When you set up DB2 Spatial Extender or create projects from the DB2
Control Center or the DB2 command line processor, you invoke these stored
procedures implicitly. For example, when you click OK from a DB2 Spatial
Extender window in the DB2 Control Center, DB2 calls the stored procedure
that is associated with that window.
Alternatively, you can invoke the stored procedures explicitly in an
application program.
Before invoking most DB2 Spatial Extender stored procedures on a database,
you must enable that database for spatial operations by invoking the
ST_enable_db stored procedure, either directly or by using the DB2 Control
Center. (You can read about invoking this stored procedure in the topic about
ST_enable_db, later in this section.)
After a database is enabled for spatial operations, you can invoke any DB2
Spatial Extender stored procedure, either implicitly or explicitly, on that
database if you are connected to that database.
