EXTEND USING option of CREATE INDEX command

Can someone clarify what is EXTEND USING option in the CREATE INDEX
command for, what kind of index structure it creates? Is it a new
feature introduced in FP10, or it's been around for awhile yet?

Thanks,
-Eugene

It is not new to FP 10 and I believe it is availble in 8.1.

This clause uses an index-extention-name. For more information, see CREATE
INDEX EXTENSION in the SQL Reference Vol 2. I think that will provide the
explanation you are looking for.

That's available since V7.1 FP1 (or even V7.1 GA).

Originally, this was introduced as part of the DB2 engine work for the DB2
Spatial Extender that needed a more specialized indexing method. You have
to define the indexing method, i.e. the index extension, and with the
EXTEND USING clause you say which index extension along which parameters
shall be used. Another write-up on index extensions can be found here:
http://tinyurl.com/8y8yb I hope it explains how index extensions work.

I just hit this clause when was checking with the general syntax for
CREATE INDEX command so, not having any experience with the feature
like DB2 Spatial it's serving for, just fired that curiosity question
to the group, so thank you guys for your hints.
