Gee, sounds like you need VSAM with DB2 Transparency!

Antonios,
Curiosity:
- Are you are building your own database, compiler & search tool at a
granular level within a model (database)? So, if you are working at
that
layer, and not employing the benefits of a database,why use a database?
If you are truly mixing these layers, then you will want to explore
terms
like data mining & business intelligence. DB2 has Intelligent Miner for
text where you can run all kinds of analytics on text.
If you want to build subordinate data models in your existing model,
explore
DB2 on AS400, where you could use encoded vectore indices:
http://www.as400.ibm.com/developer/bi/evi.html.
You could also use DB2 binary and build your functions off of that, but
DB2
is very limited here. Sybase or MS SQL allow you to explore bitmaps and
binary math better.

I really think that DB2 does not provide the functionality you are
looking for.
I suggest you get the source for MySQL (it is open source) and
hack that to your heart's content.
