Which of the following best describes the difference between the DB2 Spatial Extender and the
DB2 Geodetic Extender?
A.
The DB2 Spatial Extender uses a latitude-longitude coordinate system; the DB2 Geodetic
Extender uses a planar, x- and y-coordinate system
B.
The DB2 Geodetic Extender is used to describe points, lines, and polygons; the DB2 Spatial
Extender is used to find area, endpoints, and intersects
C.
The DB2 Spatial Extender treats the world as a flat map; the DB2 Geodetic Extender treats the
world as a round globe
D.
The DB2 Geodetic Extender can be used to manage information like the locations of office
buildings or the size of a flood zone; the DB2 Spatial Extender can be used for calculations and
visualizations in disciplines like military command/control and asset management, meteorology
and oceanography
