New With Version 8; Ibm Db2 Udb Workgroup Server Edition For Linux (5733-Ld1) - IBM eserver i5 Handbook

Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004
MQSeries stored procedures
XSL transformation (XSLT) user-defined files (UDFs)
The DB2 UDB Text Extender provides full-text search through a set of UDFs.
These extend the SQL query language by providing additional functionality. It is
easy to combine full-text search with parametric search. Text search capabilities
depend on the index type chosen when the documents are indexed.
The Text Extender for iSeries provides the same function as on other DB2
platforms with the following differences:
It is not possible to define referential constraints on tables that are enabled for
text search. Text Extender does not support automatic index update for delete
of records in a table with defined referential constraints. However, tables
containing referential constraints can be enabled for text search.
The GET ENVIRONMENT workstation command to retrieve the setting of the
Text Extender environment variables is not required and not supported on the
iSeries server.
With structured documents, it is not possible to index and search on attribute
sections (DATE, TIME, FLOAT, INTEGER).
Text preparation and administration commands for the client must be invoked
at the database server itself.
There is no datalink support.
