The DB2GSE.SPATIAL_REF_SYS catalog view

Query the DB2GSE.SPATIAL_REF_SYS catalog view to retrieve information about spatial reference systems.

When you create a spatial reference system, IBM® Spatial Support for Db2 for z/OS® registers it by recording its identifier and information related to it in a catalog table.

The following table describes the columns from the catalog table that comprise the DB2GSE.SPATIAL_REF_SYS catalog view.
Table 1. Columns in the DB2GSE.SPATIAL_REF_SYS catalog view
Name Data Type Nullable? Content
SRID INTEGER No User-defined identifier for this spatial reference system.
SR_NAME VARCHAR(128) No Name of this spatial reference system.
CSID INTEGER No Numeric identifier for the coordinate system that underlies this spatial reference system.
CS_NAME VARCHAR(128) No Name of the coordinate system that underlies this spatial reference system.
AUTH_NAME VARCHAR(128) Yes Name of the organization that sets the standards for this spatial reference system.
AUTH_SRID INTEGER Yes The identifier that the organization specified in the AUTH_NAME column assigns to this spatial reference system.
SRTEXT VARCHAR(2048) No Annotation text for this spatial reference system.
FALSEX DOUBLE No A number that, when subtracted from a negative X coordinate value, leaves a non-negative number (that is, a positive number or a zero).
FALSEY DOUBLE No A number that, when subtracted from a negative Y coordinate value, leaves a non-negative number (that is, a positive number or a zero).
XYUNITS DOUBLE No A number that, when multiplied by a decimal X coordinate or a decimal Y coordinate, yields an integer that can be stored as a 32–bit data item.
FALSEZ DOUBLE No A number that, when subtracted from a negative Z coordinate value, leaves a non-negative number (that is, a positive number or a zero).
ZUNITS DOUBLE No A number that, when multiplied by a decimal Z coordinate, yields an integer that can be stored as a 32–bit data item.
FALSEM DOUBLE No A number that, when subtracted from a negative measure, leaves a non-negative number (that is, a positive number or a zero).
MUNITS DOUBLE No A number that, when multiplied by a decimal measure, yields an integer that can be stored as a 32–bit data item.
