How to use a geocoder

Using a geocoder involves defining the work that you want a geocoder to do, setting up the geocoder, and running the geocoder in batch mode.

Geocoders and geocoding
Setting up geocoding operations
Db2® Spatial Extender lets you set, in advance, the work that must be done when a geocoder is invoked.
Setting up a geocoder to run automatically
You can set up a geocoder to automatically translate data as soon as the data is added to, or updated in, a table.
Running a geocoder in batch mode
When you run a geocoder in batch mode, you translate multiple records into spatial data that goes into a specific column.
