Stored procedures

This section provides reference information about the stored procedures that you can use to set up spatial support and create projects that use spatial data.

When you set up IBM® Spatial Support for Db2 for z/OS®, you invoke these stored procedures implicitly.

Alternatively, you can invoke the stored procedures explicitly in an application program.

Before invoking most IBM Spatial Support for Db2 for z/OS stored procedures on a database, you must enable that database for spatial operations. For more information, see Enabling spatial support for the first time.

After Db2 for z/OS is enabled for spatial operations, you can invoke any IBM Spatial Support for Db2 for z/OS stored procedure, either implicitly or explicitly.
