The existing server extensibilities in modern DBMSs have been critical
in our company's development of software products that improve
database performance for certain scientific computing applications.
We are planning to develop other products that will utilize an
extensible database engine, and so we would be grateful for feedback
on the following questions as they pertain to your experience in
developing DB2 applications:
1. What types of extensibility (i.e., data types, functions/
methods, indexing, etc.) are available and convenient to use in
practice?
2. What types of extensibility (possibly already available in
other DBMSs) are currently missing in DB2?
3. To what extent was your choice of DB2 as a development
platform based primarily on its extensibility features?
