DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
DB2SE_USA_GEOCODER has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release.
The DB2SE_USA_GEOCODER is a sample geocoder that translates United States addresses into ST_Point data. It was installed as a component of the DB2 Spatial Extender and automatically registered. The geocoder is supported only in a limited number of operating systems. The reference data for this geocoder was developed in 2002 as a way to provide an example for customers and has not been updated. Providing an update to this reference data will result on licensing fees for customers that want to use it.
DB2 Spatial Extender supports vendor-supplied and user-supplied geocoders. With these geocoders, you are free to use different input or output than that of DB2SE_USA_GEOCODER. Also, you can choose a geocoder that is supported in the operating system of your choice.
Start using vendor-supplied and user-supplied geocoders. For details about how to use them, see How to use a geocoder or Integrating Custom Geocoders with the DB2 Spatial Extender.
